Karaburun: local notes for acute gastroenteritis
Karaburun is built for beach days, and the strong sun, salty water and shared buffets behind them explain most of the health problems travellers report. Nearby you will also find Dikili, Centrum, Cesme. All-inclusive buffets sit out in the heat for hours, so tummy bugs spread rapidly through resort hotels. Tell your hotel if you are ill, and stay out of the pool until you have been symptom-free for 48 hours.

Understanding acute gastroenteritis
Acute gastroenteritis is a short-lived inflammation of the stomach and intestines, usually caused by a virus, bacteria or parasite. It is commonly called a stomach bug, traveller’s diarrhoea or food poisoning, and most cases settle in a few days.
Common triggers
Contaminated food or water, undercooked meat, shellfish, unwashed salads, ice in drinks, or contact with someone who is already ill. Hot weather lets bacteria multiply rapidly, which is why it is frequent on summer holidays.
