Common Triggers
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, generally via undercooked meat, raw eggs, shellfish, reheated rice, salads, ice or food kept warm.
Symptoms of Food Poisoning
- Watery diarrhoea, sometimes with blood
- Headache and muscle aches
- Nausea and sudden vomiting
- Signs of dehydration: dry mouth, dizziness, dark urine
- Fever, chills and tiredness
About Food Poisoning
Food poisoning is an illness caused by eating or drinking something contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites or the toxins they produce. It typically causes sudden vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps within hours or a couple of days of the meal, and most healthy adults recover at home with fluids and rest.
What to Know About Food Poisoning in Evrenseki
Evrenseki is a resort village, so all-inclusive buffets, pools and heat are the main holiday risks. 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.

Avoiding Food Poisoning on Holiday
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.
Getting Food Poisoning Treated in Evrenseki
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. 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.
- Eat plain foods such as rice, toast, bananas or soup once your appetite returns
- Wash your hands well and do not prepare food for others while you are ill
- Sip oral rehydration solution little and frequently, even if you are vomiting
