#Healthwire: King County health officials monitoring norovirus-like illnesses

Norovirus-like symptoms are turning out to be a stubborn problem as we head into spring. The stomach illness is still spreading in some places, and county health officials are keeping a close eye on places like classrooms, where kids have gotten sick.
Seattle Public Schools sent a letter to families at Sanislo Elementary this week, informing parents that some students and staff are reporting gastrointestinal illnesses.
Public Health Seattle and King County say they have begun a collaborative investigation and response plan.
The district closed John Muir Elementary School for a few days last week after a norovirus outbreak. Crews disinfected the school and kids are back in class this week.
The Snohomish Health District says it thinks at least 10 people experienced norovirus-like symptoms after they visited an indoor trampoline gym in Marysville, called Altitude Trampoline.
The Health District set up a call center for anyone who visited that business and ended up feeling ill: 425-388-5088.
The owner of Altitude Trampoline said they run an exceptionally clean facility and closed for part of the day, Tuesday, for extra cleaning. They have since reopened.
The Health District is monitoring incoming reports to see if any of the cases are part of a larger outbreak.
Here is some information on norovirus symptoms from the Snohomish Health District:

Applying diluted tea tree oil on the skin can solve oily skin problems and it can also help kill off the warts growing on your skin. Using undiluted tea tree oil is not recommended as it is quite strong but mixing it with carrier oil like almond or olive oil can be rewarding especially when it comes to removing warts.

These two young Muslims were the darlings of the left mainstream media. [1] In March 2016, they even  had the honor of an article in T he Washington Post : "At 23, they are already celebrities, France's youngest public intellectuals.... neither sees the point of a university education, and their world begins where Paris ends, which is the point of their entire intellectual project. "Their columns for the Liberation newspaper's Bondy Blog, their documentaries and their 2015 novel all reveal the two friends' overarching intent: showing the world the complicated reality of the Paris suburbs where they were born and raised."   But in mid-February 2017, an unknown woman decided to share on Facebook some of Mehdi Meklat's tweets: "I am goi...
