#diarrhea — Public Fediverse posts

In the West, cyclospora infections are called an 'outbreak', but, in India, where people traditionally use farmland as a public toilet, they're very common. They develop resistance to it and avoid it by cooking most food, but it often causes 'traveller's diarrhoea' in tourists.

#Shigella infections known as shigellosis can cause a #fever, abdominal #cramping, tenesmus and #diarrhea that is #bloody.
The bacteria can be spread by a fecal-oral route, person-to-person contact, and contaminated food and water.
While typically shigellosis affects young children, the CDC says it has started to see more of the #antimicrobial-#resistant infections in adult populations – especially in men who have sex with men, people experiencing homelessness, international travelers and people living with HIV.
