    I've been around sick hikers in Shenandoah this season. Best best is to try and keep up your immune system. I take a boatload of herbal meds,vitamins. etc which helps me. You do the best you can.

    Can I hold you to that CM? If you're wrong, then the ice cream at Pine Grove Furnace is on you.....likely to be all over you in fact!

    My point in posting here wasn't to rehash an old dispute, and I hope we can avoid that, but I felt it was unfair to imply that because the rumors turned out to be true they were justified... Notice the language used here, most likely coming directly from medical professionals; 'viral outbreak...' Not 'SEVERE norovirus outbreak.' Kudos to you, or whoever it was, for guessing norovirus, but at the time it was posted it was not a confirmed fact.

    You may say there's no harm in spreading the information, right or wrong, but I think accuracy matters. Given your logic we should just tell everyone that there is always a SEVERE norovirus outbreak on the AT, since that would make them more cautious with sanitation... Right? Maybe we should tell them that there are always murderers on the trail too? They'd certainly be more vigilant. No harm done, right?
    Are you stupid or just plain stupid.
