Moctezuma's Revenge
Moctezuma's Revenge is a colloquial term for traveler's diarrhea, particularly common among tourists visiting Mexico or other countries with different sanitation standards. Named after the Aztec emperor Moctezuma II, this condition often arises from consuming contaminated food or water. Symptoms typically include stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting. While it can be uncomfortable, most cases are self-limiting and resolve within a few days. Staying hydrated and practicing good hygiene can help prevent it. If symptoms persist or worsen, medical attention may be necessary.
