Norwalk? Seriously people... 

Don't you think that by the time you reach university you have had "wash your hands after you use the washroom" drilled into your head more than enough? And that if you are in university you would be smart enough to do this anyway? Apparently not. Someone likely chose not to wash their hands resulting in this. Students in a residence I sadly admit to living in at one time, suffering from "gastro-intestinal" illness. i.e. NORWALK. People just don't get that this is relatively easily preventable by washing your hands after you use the washrooom and before you touch anything that goes in your mouth.

I have spent at least 3 weeks at camp (work) dealing with this exact same thing a few summers ago, though i feel that young children maybe need to be reminded to wash their hands after using the washroom a little more often than adults. I even admit to actually getting this illness, just from being around so much vomit, and in such close quarters with vomiting children - and let me tell you it is not pleasant.

So please, do all of us a favor and wash your hands after using the washroom.
