Focus on innovation and work together for the people

Summer is here, and it is the season of eating watermelon. It is also the season where intestinal infectious diseases are prone to occur. Let us learn about these diseases~

Cholera

As we all know, cholera is the only Class A infectious disease, and its "status" is as "high" as the plague. It is an acute gastrointestinal infectious disease caused by Vibrio cholerae groups O1 and O139. The typical symptoms are severe vomiting and diarrhea. This kind of diarrhea is not painful and the stool is excreted like "rice juice". "Isn't it just diarrhea? What's the big deal?" Diarrhea caused by cholera is not trivial. It can occur more than ten times a day. If not treated in time, it will cause severe "death from dehydration."

Where did cholera come from? After a patient excretes Vibrio cholerae , we may become infected if we eat contaminated food or water. How to prevent

?

1. Do not drink raw water

2. Wash raw vegetables and fruits before eating, and do not eat uncooked seawater products

3. Wash your hands before meals and after using the toilet

Bacillary dysentery

Bacillary dysentery (abbreviated as Bacillary dysentery ) is an intestinal infectious disease caused by Shigella. The main symptoms are abdominal pain and diarrhea, mucus, pus and bloody stools, and the feeling of tenesmus and . The cold dishes that everyone loves to eat are foods that are easily contaminated by bacillary dysentery, so try to buy them from regular merchants. How to prevent

In addition to paying attention to cold dishes, just like cholera, do not drink raw water, eat raw or cold food, and wash your hands frequently.

Typhoid Fever/ Paratyphoid Fever

"Typhoid Mary" is a "celebrity" who single-handedly spreads typhoid fever wherever she goes. I believe everyone has heard of her "prestige". As a chef, after eating the food she cooked, most people will continue to have a fever, but their pulse rate cannot keep up with the body temperature, resulting in a relatively slow pulse, and "good-looking" " roseola " appears on the skin. As an intestinal infectious disease, patients rarely suffer from diarrhea, and most people have symptoms of constipation.

Paratyphoid fever is caused by infection with different strains of Salmonella paratyphi. Although fever can also occur, other symptoms are different. Type A and B will cause vomiting and diarrhea, while type C is more complicated, with most cases of chills and jaundice. How to prevent

?

With the development of medicine, there will no longer be "Typhoid Mary" cooking for you, but like all intestinal infectious diseases, you must pay attention to dietary hygiene, do not drink raw water, and separate raw and cooked food.
