Two of the outbreaks occurred in Illinois and were tied to Salmonella, while a third was a Washington state hepatitis A outbreak. ## Norovirus Symptoms Norovirus causes over 23 million cases of gastroenteritis annually, making it the leading cause of gastroenteritis in the United States. Typically symptoms of norovirus infection include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Sometimes headache and low-grade fever appear. Norovirus develops 24 to 48 hours after contaminated food or water is ingested and lasts for 24 to 60 hours. In some cases, severe dehydration, malnutrition, and even death can result from norovirus infection, especially among children and among older and adults with compromised immune systems in hospitals and nursing homes ## Contact the Marler Clark Norovirus Attorneys If you or a family member became ill with norovirus after consuming contaminated food and you’re interested in pursuing a legal claim, you can contact the Marler Clark norovirus lawyers for a free case evaluation.
