What is Travelers’ Diarrhea?
Travelers’ Diarrhea is a disorder affecting up to 50% of people who travel throughout the developing world. It is typically caused by ingestion of contaminated food or drink. Dehydration is one of the most serious and potentially life-threatening consequences of severe or prolonged travelers’ diarrhea. Travelers’ Diarrhea is commonly recognized by symptoms such as: increased frequency or urgency of passing soft or watery stools; stomach or intestinal cramping; and nausea with or without vomiting.
