Acute Gastroenteritis Explained
Acute gastroenteritis is a brief bout of irritation and swelling in the stomach and bowel, most often triggered by a virus, bacterium or parasite. A virus, bacteria or parasite is normally responsible, and the everyday names are stomach flu, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea; recovery within a few days is typical.
What Can Cause Acute Gastroenteritis
Dirty water or food, meat that is not cooked through, shellfish, salads that were rinsed in tap water, ice cubes, and close contact with a person who already has the illness are the usual routes. Warm weather helps germs multiply, so holiday buffets and hot afternoons raise the risk.
Prevention Tips
Wash hands before eating, choose food that is freshly cooked and served hot, drink sealed or bottled water, and be cautious with salads and ice if you are unsure of their source.
