In late November and early December, a hospital in western Florida started to see a spike in the number of cases of acute gastroenteritis-like symptoms. Patients began arriving at the emergency department complaining of excessive bouts of vomiting and diarrhea. They also complained of abdominal pain and cramping, and most were severely dehydrated.
