New Cause Found for Cruise Ship Illnesses��������


����������� On Several different cruises during the past year, hundreds of passengers and crew became sick. Until recently, many people thought poor food handling was the cause of the illnesses on the cruise ships. However, some doctors were not certain, and the actual cause of the illnesses was a mystery.
