Recently, "crispy young people" has become a hot word on the Internet, specifically used to refer to young people with poor physical fitness and easy to get sick. These young people tend to be more energetic and prefer to travel to relax, but are more likely to contract traveler's diarrhea while traveling.
Traveler's diarrhea, the nemesis of travel
Traveler's diarrhea not only causes harm to the body, but also affects the normal itinerary, which can be described as the number one "nemesis" of travel.
Traveler's diarrhea is actually the medical name of "water and soil adaptation", which is an intestinal infectious disease caused by infection with bacteria, viruses and other pathogens during travel, traveler's diarrhea can cause diarrhea, vomiting and other problems, and severe acute diarrhea can also lead to dehydration, acidosis and other symptoms.
"Crispy young man" with traveler diarrhea
Crispy young people are "more susceptible to traveler's diarrhea, largely related to their unhealthy lifestyle habits." On the one hand, young people prefer to eat food from roadside stalls when they travel, and on the other hand, factors such as staying up late, irregular diet, and lack of exercise make the immune system of this group of young people relatively weak, thus leaving opportunities for germs.
Prevention of traveler's diarrhea
So as a "crispy young man", what should you pay attention to when traveling to avoid contracting traveler's diarrhea?Here are some precautions to help you with.
First of all, in terms of living habits, in addition to exercising more to improve immunity, we should also develop good dietary hygiene habits, eat less or no food from roadside stalls, try to choose bottled water or boiled water, and rinse fruits with clean water before eating.
Enterotoxiens Escherichia coli (ETEC), Campylobacter, Shigella and other bacteria are the main causes of traveler's diarrhea, among which enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is the most common [1], and according to the 6th edition of the Cholera Control Manual compiled by the Disease Control Bureau of the Ministry of Health, the RBS WC cholera vaccine is based on the synergy of antibacterial and antitoxin immunity against cholera, so it is effective against epidemic diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (including traveler's diarrhea is common** ) has a good cross-protection effect.
In addition, according to the World Health Organization's recommendation, RBS WC vaccination is effective in preventing traveler's diarrhea caused by toxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC).
For young people, travel is indeed a good way to increase knowledge and relax, but if you accidentally contract traveler's diarrhea during the trip, I am afraid that the joy of travel will be greatly reduced, so be sure to take precautions before you go!
