Summer
is coming, do you have any plans to travel abroad? Yes, getting ready
to visit the nice places and enjoy the local culinary, but...have you
ever have stomach flu when you enjoy traveling?
It
does annoy you and sometimes it ruins your traveling schedules.
You
are not alone, that happened to me, and many of us. In every 10
person, 3 to 7 person have this experience.
This
stomach flu causes loose or watery stool, also known as diarrhea, and
it's almost common in travelers. This stomach flu is called the
Traveler's Diarrhea (TD).
Why
do you get stomach flu when travel?
When
I traveled to the warmer area and an area with poor public hygiene,
that easy for me to get infected the stomach flu.
These
areas do not have access to plumbing and latrine, so you can imagine
that the amount of stool contaminated and more accessible to flies.
Whenever
an area has lack of safe water. electricity frequent to black out,
and lack refrigerators will increase risk to the stomach flu.
The
stomach flu is caused by many pathogens from contaminated water,
prepared food, and utensils. Bacteria is the most commons cause, such
as E. coli, Campylobacter jejuni, Shigella, dan Salmonella.
Viruses,
such as norovirus also contribute to the somach flu. Parasites is
less common.
How
do you know that you got TD?
Knowing
the symptoms, such as suddenly I have loose stool or watery stool,
bloating, urgency using bathroom, vomiting, belly pain, tired, and
fever.
When
this symptoms mild, it goes away, but when severe I need to call
health care provider.
How
does you prevent TD?
I
always make sure do not eat food from unknown sources, do not put ice
in drinks, and only drink sealed bottle water. Avoid to eat raw
fruits and salads, raw meat, selfish, and unpasteurized milk or
yogurt.
I
always carry traveler size of alcohol sanitizer, tissue, and liquid
soap in my purse. Some medications for TD prophylaxis are always
along with the cosmetic case.
Very useful post, I haven't suffered from it but it's important to be aware of it ^^

ReplyDeleteYou are doing very good job learning people about this disease!
Heave a great week!
I've been lucky when travelling that I haven't suffered from this, but then we are usually camping or RVing and preparing our own food. It's important not to drink too much alcohol as well because the resultant dehydration can also be dangerous in hot climates

Diare itu sepertinya sepele, padahal bisa membahayakan jiwa juga ya ternyata. Kalau teman saya karena sering sakit perut karena tidak cocok dengan masakan dari luar yang tidak biasa dia konsumsi, akhirnya dia bawa makanan sendiri dari tanah air. Seperti abon atau mie instant...
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteUseful information.
ReplyDeleteClimate differences from one country to another make our bodies sometimes difficult to adapt.
For that we must prepare well before coming to another country.
Exactly!

DeleteI have traveled quite a bit and your advice is very sound. I have forgotten those rules at times and paid the unhappy price. I always carry a little Imodium with me just in case.
ReplyDeleteI've never missed Imodium too.
DeleteThanks!
You did a great research about the product and really loved reading it. I must say I’ve no idea about this post before and not even heard that word. While i’m writing this i am using buffer and hoot suite to monitor my social media’s. I’m thinking to try to will share my feedback after trying it.
