[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Navaho ghost dust - Chindi
  • Health officials have recorded at least 118 illnesses resembling the contagious norovirus in the Grand Canyon National Park since May

  • The norovirus causes vomiting, diarrhea, body aches and fevers, and is spread through close contact with someone with the virus

  • It is currently unknown how many of the recent cases have been caused by the virus, which is difficult to detect if samples aren't collected in time

  • The debilitating illness can cause chaos out in the park, as one hiker came across a sick party that needed a rescue chopper
