Acute gastroenteritis in Turkler: what to know locally
Most guests in Turkler are there for the sea, and the sun, the chlorine and the buffet queues cause most of the minor illnesses. Other places within reach include Okurcalar, Konakli, Oba. 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.

Why acute gastroenteritis happens
Most infections come from something eaten or drunk: contaminated water, undercooked meat or seafood, unwashed salad or ice. You can also catch it from a sick travel companion. Heat speeds up bacterial growth, which explains why summer trips so commonly end with a tummy bug.
Acute gastroenteritis explained
When the lining of the stomach and intestines becomes inflamed for a short time, doctors call it acute gastroenteritis. People call it a stomach bug, holiday tummy, food poisoning or traveller’s diarrhoea, and it normally clears up in a few days.
Prevention tips
Wash hands before eating, choose food that is freshly cooked and served hot, drink sealed or bottled water, and be cautious with salads and ice if you are unsure of their source.
