This bug haunts nursing homes, retirement facilities, cruise ships, airplanes, schools, and daycare. It hangs out with shellfish, especially oysters. The incubation time is a day or two and the illness lasts 18-72 hours. Patients develop abrupt onset vomiting and non-bloody diarrhea, accompanied by myalgias, malaise, headache, and fever.
