Why Food Poisoning Happens
Bacteria such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella and disease-causing types of E. coli are the most common culprits. These include ETEC (enterotoxigenic E. coli), a leading cause of traveller’s diarrhoea, and EHEC (enterohaemorrhagic or Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli), which can cause bloody diarrhoea and, rarely, kidney complications. Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus toxins cause very fast vomiting within hours, and norovirus and Giardia are also common. Typical sources are undercooked chicken or minced meat, raw eggs, unpasteurised milk, shellfish, reheated rice, salads washed in untreated water, ice, and food left warm at buffets.
What Is Food Poisoning?

Care and Treatment for Food Poisoning
The doctor asks what you ate and when, who else is ill and how dehydrated you are, and can arrange a stool or blood test at your hotel. Most cases need fluids rather than antibiotics, and antibiotics are normally avoided if EHEC is suspected. Anti-sickness medicine can be prescribed and an IV drip arranged if you cannot keep fluids down. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where suitable, and antibiotics only when the physician decides they are needed.
- Sip oral rehydration solution little and frequently, even if you are vomiting
- Wash your hands well and do not prepare food for others while you are ill
- Rest, and avoid alcohol, fatty or spicy food for a day or two
