You can get norovirus illness many times in your life because there are many different types of noroviruses. Infection with one type of norovirus may not protect you against other types. It is possible to develop immunity to (protection against) specific types. But, it is not known exactly how long immunity lasts. This may explain why so many people of all ages get infected during norovirus outbreaks. Also, whether you are susceptible to norovirus infection is also determined in part by your genes.
Norovirus can easily contaminate food and water because it only takes a very small amount of virus particles to make you sick. Food and water can get contaminated with norovirus in many ways.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists Norovirus as one of the top 10 Causes of outbreaks in public water systems. The best way to ensure that cryptosporidium or other contaminants will not invade your tank sediment is to remove it.
