Michael Mosley and Catharine Makinson Booth use a vomiting dummy to show how far a virus can spread.
Norovirus, sometimes referred to as the winter vomiting bug, is the most common cause of gastroenteritis.
'Vomiting Larry' is the Health and Safety Laboratory's (HSL) humanoid simulated vomiting system. He was designed and built at HSL and he is helping to identify why the winter vomiting bug (Norovirus) is so highly infectious and transmitted between people so readily.
