Some people are genetically resistant to the norovirus. I found out that I am through the tests I did through 23andme.
The “stomach flu” isn’t really the flu at all. It’s actually “viral gastroenteritis,” and its most common cause is a group of viruses collectively called noroviruses. No matter what you call it, the illness is highly contagious and very unpleasant — symptoms include abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. In close quarters, an outbreak can quickly spread from person to person, earning the sickness the nickname “cruise ship disease.” A lucky few, however, are resistant to the most common strain of norovirus because of their genetics.

Same here - via 23andme. My wife and poor daughter, however, are not. Boo for them, but at least I can take care of them (happened once on vacation when she was under 1 year old) and not get sick myself.
