Well, there's been an outbreak in Northern Ireland and my dad has it - so I don't want to take any chances and of course am doing thorough hand washing constantly and I don't fancy the sounds of it!
Anyone any experience with it and any useful info they can give me? Thanks..

Thanks. This, and one other post, seemed to be the only productive one.. karma as always!Aries_37 wrote:
It gives food poisoning like symptoms and should pass after a few days. Tell your dad NOT TO GO OUT for up to 2 days after he recovers, he can use it as an excuse to take more time off work if need be. This is because the bugger stays infectious and contagious several days after the host has recovered.
