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.

Care and Treatment for Food Poisoning
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. Typical choices are oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where suitable, and antibiotics only when the doctor decides they are needed.
- Sip oral rehydration solution little and frequently, even if you are vomiting
- Rest, and avoid alcohol, fatty or spicy food for a day or two
