[via Humble ISD]"Dear Woodland Hills Elementary School Parents:Woodland Hills Elementary had an unusually high absence rate today. Seventy-eight children were absent and more were sent home ill. Vomiting and diarrhea appear to be common symptoms. At this point, the cause of the illness is not known.No other campuses have reported unusual numbers of absences.As a precaution, Humble ISD custodial services are sanitizing the school and will conduct another thorough cleaning tonight.Students are also being encouraged to wash their hands frequently. Washing hands before and after eating and other activities is a highly effective method of preventing the spread of illness.The Harris County Health Department has been contacted as a precaution. They have asked to speak to a small selection of parents to aid in their investigation and determine if any additional steps need to be taken for prevention.If your child exhibits any symptoms of a stomach ache or diarrhea, please keep your child home and seek advice from your physician. Thank you, Debi BeardPrincipal" 4951

@donnatella: Using a pair of binoculars  The Harris County Health Department is looking into the situation (really really) !

Well, like other large scale food poisoning events (like Iguana Joe's), not everyone who ate there got sick. Guess it depends on an individuals health, strength of their immune system, resistance, etc. A bug that might bring down one might have no effect on another. 4951

The highly contagious norovirus can tear through cruise ships, classrooms, and other crowded spaces, leaving vomiting,  diarrhea and stomach cramps in its wake.
@teatime:  I think I'll be using an extra wipe to clean my cart at the grocery store for a while. I really don't want to have the same symptoms the kids at WHE have.  I sure hope it does not spread anymore and the kids recover fast.

@Nurse3:
I'm guessing that you're seeing the poor victims of this.

The 78 were all absent today and were symptomatic last night, according to parents. Others began showing symptoms this morning.  Seems a little long for food poisoning at school. 4951

@Nurse3:
Well hopefully you don't have to take care of the parents that catch this crap, since it's super contagious. 4951
