Causes and Risk Factors
Bacteria such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella and disease-causing types of E. coli are the most frequent 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 frequent. 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.
Understanding Food Poisoning
Food poisoning is an illness caused by eating or drinking something contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites or the toxins they produce. Vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps generally start within hours to two days and most people get better with fluids and rest.
Typical Symptoms
- Headache and muscle aches
- Stomach cramps and bloating
- Fever, chills and tiredness
- Signs of dehydration: dry mouth, dizziness, dark urine
Avoiding Food Poisoning on Holiday
Choose food that is freshly cooked and served hot, avoid buffet dishes that have sat out, drink sealed or bottled water, be careful with ice, raw eggs and unpasteurised milk, and wash your hands before eating.
Care and Treatment for Food Poisoning
A video visit lets the physician ask what you ate and when, who else is ill, and how dehydrated you are. If needed, a stool or blood sample can be arranged at your hotel. Most food poisoning requires fluids, not antibiotics, and antibiotics are normally avoided when EHEC is suspected, so the doctor will advise what is suitable. Anti-sickness medicine can be prescribed where appropriate, and an IV drip can be arranged at your hotel if you cannot keep fluids down. The e-prescription can be collected at the nearest pharmacy. Typical choices are oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where suitable, and antibiotics only when the doctor decides they are needed.
- Eat plain foods such as rice, toast, bananas or soup once your appetite returns
- Do not take anti-diarrhoea tablets if you have a fever or blood in your stool unless a doctor advises it
- Sip oral rehydration solution little and commonly, even if you are vomiting
