Food Poisoning Explained
Food poisoning is an illness caused by eating or drinking something contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites or the toxins they produce. Vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps typically start within hours to two days and most people get better with fluids and rest.
Signs of Food Poisoning to Look for
- Signs of dehydration: dry mouth, dizziness, dark urine
- Watery diarrhoea, sometimes with blood
- Stomach cramps and bloating
- Headache and muscle aches
- Fever, chills and tiredness
What Can Cause Food Poisoning
Bacteria such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella and disease-causing types of E. coli are the most common culprits. These include ETEC (enterotoxigenic E. coli), a leading cause of traveller’s diarrhoea, and EHEC (enterohaemorrhagic or Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli), which can cause bloody diarrhoea and, rarely, kidney complications. Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus toxins cause very fast vomiting within hours, and norovirus and Giardia are also frequent. Typical sources are undercooked chicken or minced meat, raw eggs, unpasteurised milk, shellfish, reheated rice, salads washed in untreated water, ice, and food left warm at buffets.
Local Tips for Food Poisoning in Yahsi

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. Typical choices are oral rehydration, anti-sickness medicine where suitable, and antibiotics only when the doctor decides they are needed.
- Rest, and avoid alcohol, fatty or spicy food for a day or two
- Do not take anti-diarrhoea tablets if you have a fever or blood in your stool unless a doctor advises it
- 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
