Bell's Palsy

[mackaybug]

I am looking for information on BP. I live in a small town of only population of 500. Just in the last 6 months at least 6 different people have been diagnosed with BP. Ages are from 65 to my son's best friend of 17. What should I do to help prevent my children or myself from getting this and is it the same virus that can cause BP? I just thinks it is wierd that 6 people in a small town as recently been diagnosed with this. I have lived here for over twenty years and have not heard of this until now. Can anybody please tell me what precautions to take or what kind of virus this is?
