    most people dont even know they have had it or not. unless your elderly or an infant it really doesnt affect you much. you get diarrhea, nausea and sometimes vomiting. you could in more sever cases get blood in the stool, head aches and muscle pains (most likely from vomiting and nausea). most people just get diarrhea and nausea.
    most people just chaulk it up to the flu or sometimes food poisoning. my stomach is bad anyways so i would never know if i had it unless i went to the doctors office and had a test done. i still doubt that most if any of us have caught it from our herps. low risk really. just something else that the media uses to make people scared and to create news
