E-rx.onlineKiris: Local Notes for Food Poisoning
In Kiris the typical health problems come from too much sun, too little water and food that has sat out in the heat. Other places within reach include Goynuk, Beldibi, Old Town. 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.
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. Quick-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.
How Food Poisoning Feels
- Stomach cramps and bloating
- Watery diarrhoea, sometimes with blood
- Signs of dehydration: dry mouth, dizziness, dark urine
- Headache and muscle aches
Food Poisoning Explained
Food poisoning is an illness from eating or drinking food or water contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites or their toxins. Vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps typically start within hours to two days and most people get better with fluids and rest.
Care and Treatment for Food Poisoning
A video visit lets the physician ask what you ate and when, who else is ill, and how dehydrated you are. If needed, a stool or blood sample can be arranged at your hotel. Most food poisoning needs fluids, not antibiotics, and antibiotics are usually avoided when EHEC is suspected, so the physician will advise what is appropriate. Anti-sickness medicine can be prescribed where suitable, and an IV drip can be arranged at your hotel if you cannot keep fluids down. The e-prescription can be collected at the nearest pharmacy. Treatment can involve 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
