About Food Poisoning
Food poisoning is an illness caused by eating or drinking something contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites or the toxins they produce. It normally causes sudden vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps within hours or a couple of days of the meal, and most healthy adults recover at home with fluids and rest.
Common Triggers
Germs such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella and pathogenic E. coli are behind most cases. ETEC drives much traveller’s diarrhoea, while EHEC (Shiga-toxin E. coli) can cause bloody diarrhoea and kidney problems in rare cases. Prompt-acting toxins from Staphylococcus and Bacillus cereus, norovirus and Giardia also play a part, typically via undercooked meat, raw eggs, shellfish, reheated rice, salads, ice or food kept warm.
Preventing Food Poisoning
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.
Getting Food Poisoning Treated in Kizilagac
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. Options may include oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where suitable, and antibiotics only when the physician decides they are needed.
- Eat plain foods such as rice, toast, bananas or soup once your appetite returns
- Rest, and avoid alcohol, fatty or spicy food for a day or two
- Wash your hands well and do not prepare food for others while you are ill
- Do not take anti-diarrhoea tablets if you have a fever or blood in your stool unless a doctor advises it
