Travellers’ diarrhoea is a common and uncomfortable problem for travellers which can upset your otherwise well planned holiday. It is caused by eating or drinking food or water that has been contaminated with bugs that cause diarrhoea. The illness usually lasts a couple of days and you know you have it when you have to rush to the toilet with watery diarrhoea.
Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap before eating or handling food and after using the toilet. It is advisable to pack a contingency plan to help you deal with unexpected travel bugs.
