       The Appalachian Trail Is Experiencing a Norovirus Outbreak.
       Here's Everything Hikers Need to Know.
       With the National Park Service tracking a cluster of cases of
       severe stomach illness in Shenandoah National Park, it's
       important for hikers to know how to stay safe.

       Getting sick or injured in the wilderness is never a good thing
       because of the innate inability of accessing critical help in a
       timely manner.
       The emphasis on carrying weight during hiking (the article
       mentioned boiling water and filters and that they add weight to
       a hiker's backpack) is real but having the ability to safely
       filter water of contaminants is more important. Perhaps hikers
       will have to adapt to a new reality that they can't trust water
       with traditional filtering methods.
       Hopefully, this is an isolated incident and not the start of an
       emerging trend. Thank you for the article.
