Kiris: local notes for acute gastroenteritis
In Kiris the typical health problems come from too much sun, too little water and food that has sat out in the heat. Nearby you will also find Goynuk, Beldibi, Old Town. All-inclusive buffets sit out in the heat for hours, so tummy bugs spread quickly 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.
Acute gastroenteritis explained
Acute gastroenteritis is a brief bout of irritation and swelling in the stomach and bowel, most frequently triggered by a virus, bacterium or parasite. People call it a stomach bug, holiday tummy, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea, and it normally clears up in a few days.
Typical symptoms
- Nausea and vomiting
- Watery diarrhoea
- Stomach cramps
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
- Low-grade fever
Why acute gastroenteritis happens
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 quickly, which is why it is frequent on summer holidays.
