E-rx.onlineLocal Tips for Food Poisoning in Kemer
Kemer is a lively spot, so late nights, alcohol and sun often combine into one bad day. Nearby you will also find Tekirova, Belek, Side. Late-night street food, shared plates and ice in drinks are common triggers. Rehydrate first, skip alcohol and ask us early if you cannot keep fluids down.
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, typically via undercooked meat, raw eggs, shellfish, reheated rice, salads, ice or food kept warm.
Understanding Food Poisoning
Contaminated food or drink that carries germs or their toxins causes food poisoning. 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.
