During the warmer months, food poisoning becomes more frequent. All such conditions are combined under the name summer flu.
Food poisoning, summer flu and all kinds of food poisoning in general exist throughout the year. In the hot months, however, the conditions for their appearance and development significantly improve. These conditions fall into a group of syndromes that result from eating foods contaminated with microorganisms or bacterial toxins.
Diseases of this type have two stages. The first is called an explosive. In it, many people who ate the same contaminated food became infected at the same time. This is typical of camps, canteens and hotels, mostly by the sea, but not only. The second type are single, accidental infections.
In summer, high temperatures, in combination with the nutrients in the dishes, are a great incubator for the development of microorganisms. The microbes are transmitted by oral-fecal mechanism.
This means that a sick and unwashed worker is able to infect customers in an entire restaurant. Another way to get infected is through water. If it is contaminated, mostly from the polluted sea or pool, the virus is present.
Among the dangerous factors that guarantee poisoning is the uncontrolled consumption of raw fruits and vegetables. To protect yourself, you need to wash the products thoroughly before use and, if possible, peel them.
There is also a danger for people who choose to rest in the most exotic destinations. The food there may be full of bacteria that are unknown to the tourist microflora.
If the bacteria are pathogenic, they can cause diarrhea and upset stomach. Therefore, it is better not to immerse yourself completely in the depths of local cuisine, unless you are at risk.
