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 brings vomiting, diarrhoea and cramps within hours or a day or two, and healthy adults typically recover at home.
Symptoms of Food Poisoning
- Signs of dehydration: dry mouth, dizziness, dark urine
- Fever, chills and tiredness
- Headache and muscle aches
- Watery diarrhoea, sometimes with blood
Common Triggers
The usual causes are Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella and harmful E. coli, including ETEC, a common cause of traveller’s diarrhoea, and EHEC, which can cause bloody diarrhoea. Toxins from Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus act within hours, and norovirus and Giardia are also frequent. Undercooked poultry and mince, raw eggs, shellfish, reheated rice, unwashed salads, ice and warm buffet food are typical sources.
Getting Food Poisoning Treated in Guvercinlik
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. Typical choices are oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where suitable, and antibiotics only when the doctor decides they are needed.
- Wash your hands well and do not prepare food for others while you are ill
- Sip oral rehydration solution little and often, even if you are vomiting
- Eat plain foods such as rice, toast, bananas or soup once your appetite returns
- Rest, and avoid alcohol, fatty or spicy food for a day or two
