This was a norovirus. I think jack in the box had problems with this ...and you know cruise ships...

Norovirus is the leading cause of illness and outbreaks from contaminated food in the United States.

The virus can easily contaminate food because it is very tiny and infective. It only takes a very small amount of virus particles (as few as 18) to make someone sick.

Food can get contaminated with norovirus when:

infected people who have stool or vomit on their hands touch the food,
it is placed on counters or surfaces that have infectious stool or vomit on them, or
tiny drops of vomit from an infected person spray through the air and land on the food.
Foods can also be contaminated at their source. For example:

oysters that are harvested from contaminated water, or
fruit and vegetables that are contaminated in the field.

It is very strange to have this many outbreaks. It's almost like someone is planting the virus. I wonder if they have done a DNA test on the virus. [/quote]
