Why Food Poisoning Happens
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. Quick-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.
How Food Poisoning Feels
- Watery diarrhoea, sometimes with blood
- Fever, chills and tiredness
- Nausea and sudden vomiting
- Signs of dehydration: dry mouth, dizziness, dark urine
- Headache and muscle aches
- Stomach cramps and bloating
What Is Food Poisoning?

Treatment Options for Food Poisoning in Tosmur
The physician 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. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where suitable, and antibiotics only when the doctor decides they are needed.
- 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
- Sip oral rehydration solution little and commonly, even if you are vomiting
- 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
