One woman's recovery from hantavirus
|
At the age of 5, Shaina Montiel had felt sick for about a week. She'd been vomiting frequently and had abdominal pain. At first, her doctor told her family it was just the flu. But another doctor confirmed it was hantavirus.
|
Now 38, Montiel told USA TODAY it's surreal to watch the little-known virus that almost took her life three decades ago make international headlines as a deadly outbreak on a cruise ship has stoked fear around the world.
|
"It's so surreal, because growing up, I wanted to learn more about the hantavirus," she says. "To see people talking about it, it's just so strange. It's like I'm in another dimension or something. I just can't believe it's in headlines, because it's such a rare virus."

The truth about germs on cruises
|
Have a cruise booked later this year? Amid a deadly hantavirus outbreak on a cruise, you may be second guessing your booking. But here's the thing about germs on cruises: While cruise ships can provide conditions that make it easier for illnesses to spread, health experts say it's critical that these incidents be viewed in context: Norovirus outbreaks on cruises account for only a small fraction of all reported cases, and the deadly hantavirus event appears to be an unusual outlier rather than a sign of broader risks facing cruise travelers.
