Most cases are caused by the consumption of water or food contaminated with bacteria, virus or parasites.
You can reduce the risk of diarrhoea by following the two simple pieces of advice listed below:
- Food should be boiled, baked or fried immediately before eating it (i.e. avoid ice, including ice cubes, raw vegetables, and raw shellfish)
- Peel your own fruit and avoid raw egg
