Those nasty gut bugs

Those nasty gut bugs

GASTROENTERITIS is due to irritation and inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which often results in diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and fever.

This intestinal infection can be contagious, and can spread through contact with an infected person, unhygienic practices, and through contaminated objects, food or water.

Anyone can contract gastroenteritis. However, it is more common among infants and children under the age of five.
