travelers' diarrhea

Travelers' diarrhea is a common condition that causes loose or watery stools, often accompanied by cramps, nausea, or fever. It typically occurs when people visit countries with different hygiene standards and become infected by eating or drinking contaminated food or water. The bacteria, viruses, or parasites responsible irritate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to increased bowel movements. Most cases are mild and resolve within a few days, but staying hydrated and practicing good hygiene can help prevent it. Severe cases may require medical treatment or antibiotics. It’s a common and usually manageable travel-related illness.
