    Wash your hands! Especially if you are preparing food. I have seen upwards of 5 people making a communal meal where there is no soap in the toilet area nor the kitchen area. The likely culprit of a number of these illnesses would be poor hand...

    JamesHowe reacted to Tincatinker's post in the thread Stomach Bug on Meseta with Like.
