Food Poisoning Explained
Food poisoning is an illness from eating or drinking food or water contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites or their toxins. It generally 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.
Signs of Food Poisoning to Look for
- Signs of dehydration: dry mouth, dizziness, dark urine
- Stomach cramps and bloating
- Fever, chills and tiredness
- Headache and muscle aches
Why Food Poisoning Happens
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.
Treatment Options for Food Poisoning in Kumlubuku
On video the doctor reviews your meals, symptoms and hydration, advises what to drink and eat, and can organise sample collection at the hotel. Antibiotics are used only when suitable, and generally not when EHEC is suspected. Medicine goes to the pharmacy as an e-prescription, and a hotel IV drip is possible if you are vomiting repeatedly. Options may include oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where suitable, and antibiotics only when the doctor decides they are needed.
- Wash your hands well and do not prepare food for others while you are ill
- Eat plain foods such as rice, toast, bananas or soup once your appetite returns
- Sip oral rehydration solution little and frequently, even if you are vomiting
