What can cause acute gastroenteritis
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 often end with a tummy bug.
Typical symptoms
- Nausea and vomiting
- Low-grade fever
- Stomach cramps
- Headache, tiredness and muscle aches
- Watery diarrhoea
