Following these guidelines has become more important in
the recent decades with the influx of food from locations out-
side the United States where the food growing and pro-
cessing guidelines may not be as strict as they are here. Ad-
ditionally, there are new strains of viruses and toxins that are
more difficult to treat.

Older adults are at a higher risk for complications from food-
borne illnesses. For some, it lasts much longer than the brief
bout of vomiting and diarrhea. The CDC estimates that
foodborne diseases affect 48 million people with 128,000

hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths in the U.S. each year.

Norovirus causes the most illnesses as it is a highly conta-
gious virus. Norovirus is commonly linked with consump-
tion of ready-to-eat food and shellfish from contaminated
water. The following precautions should be taken to avoid
exposure—hand washing; knowing the sanitation guidelines
for the eating establishments you frequent; and purchasing

shellfish from a reputable source.
