Food poisoning occurs when consuming food or water contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites, or toxins. Common culprits include Salmonella, E. coli, Norovirus, and Campylobacter. Symptoms typically begin within hours to days after exposure and include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and sometimes fever. Prompt treatment is important to prevent dehydration, which can become serious quickly in hot climates. Most cases resolve within a few days with proper hydration and rest, but medical care is crucial for severe cases, especially those involving high fever, bloody diarrhea, extreme pain, or symptoms lasting more than three days. Treatment focuses on replacing fluids and electrolytes, sometimes with IV therapy for severe cases. Antibiotics are only prescribed for certain bacterial infections. Medical professionals can also provide anti-nausea medications and advice on safe food reintroduction to help travelers recover more comfortably.
