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, generally via undercooked meat, raw eggs, shellfish, reheated rice, salads, ice or food kept warm.

Options may include oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where suitable, and antibiotics only when the doctor decides they are needed.
