A nasty stomach bug is on the rise and an infectious disease specialist warns that hand sanitizer may not be enough to kill it.
A nasty stomach virus is on the rise in our area. It's something some may have already experienced but is also something others should watch out for.
"The Purrell that we've gotten so good at using during the pandemic is not as effective as good old fashioned soap and water soap, and water hand washing is really critical to interrupt transmission," Dr. Bartlett said. "And so is bleach-based cleaning products." "Additionally the CDC explains people with norovirus can shed billions of norovirus particles. And it only takes a few particles to get others sick."
"A lot of time, it tears through a house where baby will have it and within a day, anybody else who is in the house will get it as well," said Dr. Scott Goldstein, with Northwestern Children's Practice.
