norwalk is a gastroinstestinal disease, often foodborne, esp. oysters, or passed in the stool. it's often found in outbreaks and is pretty contagious. Symptoms usually last a couple days, so your student shouldn't be out too long, if he's telling the truth. that is so awesome tho, i don't know anyone who's gotten it before, if he's telling the truth.

That is totally sweet. I've often dreamed of initiating biological warfare on frats, but it appears someone beat me to the punch.

it's called norovirus and it is just one of the many forms of stomach flu. The only reason the media is making a big deal about it is because it's actually some kind of disease that they can identify with a name.
