Understanding Food Poisoning
Contaminated food or drink that carries germs or their toxins causes food poisoning. Vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps typically start within hours to two days and most people get better with fluids and rest.
What Can Cause Food Poisoning
The usual causes are Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella and harmful E. coli, including ETEC, a common cause of traveller’s diarrhoea, and EHEC, which can cause bloody diarrhoea. Toxins from Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus act within hours, and norovirus and Giardia are also frequent. Undercooked poultry and mince, raw eggs, shellfish, reheated rice, unwashed salads, ice and warm buffet food are typical sources.
Symptoms of Food Poisoning
- Nausea and sudden vomiting
- Fever, chills and tiredness
- Watery diarrhoea, sometimes with blood
- Signs of dehydration: dry mouth, dizziness, dark urine
Food Poisoning in Manavgat: What to Know Locally
Manavgat is known for its waterfall and river boat trips, so boat days, sun and sea water mix together. Buffets in the heat are a classic cause on beach holidays. Choose food that is freshly cooked and served hot, avoid anything that has sat out, and tell us early if several people in your group are ill.
Travel Guide to Manavgat
Manavgat lies on the river of the same name, close to ancient Side. Trip for travellers: take a river boat trip, see the Manavgat Waterfall and shop at the weekly market for textiles, leather goods and spices. Water activities include boat rides and sea swimming at the nearby Side beaches.
How to Lower Your Risk of 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.
Care and Treatment for Food Poisoning
A video visit lets the doctor 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 generally avoided when EHEC is suspected, so the physician will advise what is appropriate. Anti-sickness medicine can be prescribed where suitable, 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. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where appropriate, 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
- Do not take anti-diarrhoea tablets if you have a fever or blood in your stool unless a doctor advises it
- Eat plain foods such as rice, toast, bananas or soup once your appetite returns
- Sip oral rehydration solution little and commonly, even if you are vomiting
