So unhappy.

From [a href="http://www.medicinenet.com/norovirus_infection/page7.htm#15a fterinfection"]

The mechanisms of immunity to norovirus are unclear. It appears that
immunity may be strain-specific and last only a few months. Therefore,
given the genetic variability of noroviruses, individuals are likely to
be repeatedly infected throughout their lifetimes. This may explain the
high attack rates in all ages reported in outbreaks. Recent evidence
also suggests that susceptibility to infection may be genetically
determined, with people of O blood group being at greatest risk for
severe infection.

O Positive here.

*sigh*

Just one more thing to worry about.

A neg - but is that good or bad?


I try not to pay too much heed to these kind of statistics which take fairly small samples and try to exptrapolate out to the world at large. Remember, the main route of infection is faecal/oral, regardless of blood group. Ifyou keep oyur hands clean, don' touch your face etc, then you'll minimise the chance of these viruses getting into your system in the first place.

I wouldn't worry too much about that.
I'm O neg, and haven't had a stomach bug that involved more than diarrhea in (knock on wood) 12 years. [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

O- is the most common blood type.
