How long do they last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The illness commonly causes vomiting and diarrhea. Some people can develop a fever, body aches or stomach pain. \u201cYou feel pretty awful,\u201d said Dr. Michael Angarone, an infectious disease specialist at Northwestern Medicine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019ve ever had it, you know you\u2019ve had it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, symptoms emerge around 12 to 48 hours after someone is exposed to the virus. Most people infected with the virus will get better within one to three days. But norovirus can cause more serious illness in some patients, particularly young children and older people. In rare cases, it can lead to hospitalization and even death. If you think you have norovirus and feel very dizzy, or if your urine turns dark or you\u2019re not urinating at all, you should seek medical attention, doctors said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Times The virus, which leads to nausea and vomiting, is spreading.
