Causes of traveller's diarrhoea:

A majority of traveller's diarrhoea cases are contracted during holidays and business trips to less developed countries in Central and South America and most of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. For most cases of traveller’s diarrhoea it is though the consumption of food or drinking water that has been contaminated by bacteria, a virus or a parasite, are the primary causes.

A wide range of organisms can cause traveller’s diarrhoea, including:

• Salmonella – bacteria found in raw meat and poultry and dairy products
• Campylobacter – bacteria found in raw meat and poultry, unpasteurised milk and unclean water
• Shigella – bacteria found in undercooked or raw food and spread through poor hygiene 
• Giardia intestinalis – a parasite found in contaminated water and spread through poor hygiene
• Cryptosporidium – a parasite found in contaminated food and water

How to avoid travellers diarrhoea:

When you are planning a holiday or business trip abroad you can check for medical advice on your destination on the NHS Fit for Travel or National Travel Health Network and Centre websites. These can give you information about any travel vaccinations you may need, as well as advice about avoiding traveller's diarrhoea.

Once you have arrived at your destination there are a few simple things you can do to help minimise the risk of getting traveller's diarrhoea.

• Make sure any drinking water is clean. Drinking bottled water is the best option but you must make sure that the seal on the bottle is intact before opening.
• If you have ice in your drink make sure it has been made from bottled/sterile water and not local tap water which may carry harmful bacteria.
• Drinking tea, coffee, beer and wine is safe.
• Be careful with dairy products and try to avoid products made from unpasturised milk.
• Ensure fruit and salads are well washed before eating.
