Ate dinner with family. Very good bread and pasta! I had a large glass of water, their Truffle Mac n Cheese with crispy prosciutto, and for dessert I had a cannoli and a spoonful of tiramisu. I was fine after heading home around 9 pm for the... See More most part. At first my discomfort felt like the standard indigestion I’d get after eating too much. The discomfort subsided not long after and my night went on as normal. Around 1:50 am was when I felt a mild discomfort in my gut, I chalked it up to gas and tried to continue on with my sleep. Around 2 the stomach pains increased exponentially. On a scale from 1 (least) to 10 (most), the pain went from 3 to 9. I began experiencing the horrors such as diarrhea and nausea. I felt like I was close to throwing up but luckily it hasn’t reached that point. As I’m writing this it is currently 2:46 AM and I have JUST recovered. Unsure if it’s over or if it’ll come back, but I really hope it doesn’t. TL DR: Ate a whole bowl of fancy Mac n Cheese and a cannoli and experienced the biggest toilet scare of my life. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Indigestion, Stomach Pain, Gas See Less

Bloomington Public Schools confirmed an outbreak of a stomach illness at Normandale Hills Elementary School. This led to a shift to e-learning for the remainder of the last week after dozens of students fell sick.
The scale of the problem became apparent when a high number of... See More students started falling ill at school, leading to the understanding that an outbreak was occurring. The situation was unprecedented, according to Hannah Hatch, director of health services at Bloomington Public Schools, who commented, "I’ve never experienced it this severe.” Nearly 25% of students were absent last Wednesday, and at least 15% among them were due to the same illness. The outbreak significantly disrupted the school's daily operations, and hence officials decided to shift to e-learning for the rest of the week.
The Minnesota Department of Health reported having investigated ten suspected norovirus outbreaks from October to the present in various schools, indicating a rise compared to the previous year.
The Bloomington Public School authorities assured that the school premises would be thoroughly sanitized and disinfected. They also reminded the importance of frequent hand-washing and monitoring any symptoms in preventing the spread of such illnesses.
In case you experience vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
