E.coli O157 infections in humans are commoner in the
UK than in any other European country, and they are a lot
commoner in Scotland than in England: we have the highest
incidence of infections in the world. The only good news is
their relative rarity: Scotland recorded 234 in 2012 but 6333
Campylobacter cases. Norovirus is even commoner, by orders
of magnitude. It is the common cold of the bowels. However,
excepting civil actions by passengers who contract Norovirus
gastroenteritis on cruise liners and in hotels, neither of these
common pathogens involves lawyers, except as victims. This
is not true for E.coli O157. Its life changing effects and lethality
explain why.
