    Just got back tonight, 1st time in four trips to TTR for getting ill (both of us) there were quite a few others complaining at resort of same illness. Plane ride home however tonight over heard lots of people from other resorts complaining of same illness so not just TTR. So is it a nori virus ? Food or water illness ?

    Often known as the Cancun Plague.

    Cause is, excess of cheap alcohol, different food, less hours sleep, air conditioning, more sun.

    It's just part of the price of a vacation in Cancun. But worth every penny.

    I have come to relieze social media may distort the true facts about the numbers of people that are sick. Does not mean at all that those people were not actually sick. (Its still good to spot a trend .)
    For example you get a group of 300 people go to a resort,, and 15 people get sick,, ( a respectful # given Steve's analogy) . 2 or 3 of those people go on their shared forum and share their ill experiences,,, next the other 12 see these posts and comment they were sick too,symtons always seem the same,, either flue , or respiratory. , next thing you know there was a supposedly viral outbreak at the resort they visited.
    Thing is the 285 healthy people don't get on the forum and say , hey I was healthy.




    5 people coughing on a plane sounds like 100, cause your thinking of all the germs being recirculated.


    That being said I will still bring my Lysol for the AC ducts , and sanitary wipes for the plane

    It is a problem everywhere right now. Spent the last three days in urgent care, emergency and hospital here in philadelphia and they are just completely overwhelmed saying this year is worse than ever for variety and quantity of patients. Combine flu vaccine not being as effective, more than normal strep throat cases, stomach issues noro or whatever and common colds turning into false alarms out of fear of measles, chicken pox or flu due to what everyone hears in the media and the health centers, doctors, etc can't keep up. No fun.

    And some of those illnesses may come from being cooped up on and airplane with sick people. Think of all the things your hands touch in an airport or on a plane.
