Local Tips for Acute Gastroenteritis in Okurcalar
In Okurcalar the typical health problems come from too much sun, too little water and food that has sat out in the heat. Close by are Konakli, Oba, Tosmur, which share the same medical services. All-inclusive buffets sit out in the heat for hours, so tummy bugs spread quickly through resort hotels. Tell your hotel if you are ill, and stay out of the pool until you have been symptom-free for 48 hours.
