E-rx.onlineKonacik: Local Notes for Food Poisoning
In Konacik the typical health problems come from too much sun, too little water and food that has sat out in the heat. Nearby you will also find Golturkbuku, Akyarlar, Turgutreis. 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
The usual causes are Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella and harmful E. coli, including ETEC, a frequent 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.
About Food Poisoning
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 generally start within hours to two days and most people get better with fluids and rest.
How Food Poisoning Feels
- Fever, chills and tiredness
- Stomach cramps and bloating
- Headache and muscle aches
- Signs of dehydration: dry mouth, dizziness, dark urine
- Nausea and sudden vomiting
Care and Treatment for Food Poisoning
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. Treatment can involve oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where appropriate, and antibiotics only when the physician decides they are needed.
- Rest, and avoid alcohol, fatty or spicy food for a day or two
- Sip oral rehydration solution little and frequently, even if you are vomiting
- Eat plain foods such as rice, toast, bananas or soup once your appetite returns
- Do not take anti-diarrhoea tablets if you have a fever or blood in your stool unless a doctor advises it
