chipmaster Posted June 9, 2010 #28 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'm no medical doctor but as long as the virus isn't fast mutating I expect you do develop a resistance with repeated exposure. The question is how often one is or wants that exposure :D All I know is after a few trips to the far east ( not 20 ) that the family and I can pretty much eat any of the street vendors with no ill effect but find many times my adventurous western companions don't fair very well :eek: Does anyone know if you can build immunity/tolerance to this virus?

Rare karatemom2 Posted June 9, 2010 #29 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Does anyone know if you can build immunity/tolerance to this virus? Like viruses that cause the common cold there are many different strains of norovirus, which makes it difficult for a person’s body to develop long-lasting immunity. Therefore, norovirus illness can recur throughout a person’s lifetime. The best defense is avoiding people with an active infection and strict hand hygiene.

aquilegia Posted June 9, 2010 #30 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I also disagree. A ward of our local hospital is closed to visitors at the moment due to norovirus. It breaks out anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
