Why is diarrhea easy in summer?

You must have diarrhea. Especially in summer, there are many cases of diarrhea caused by improper diet. Diarrhea is mainly related to pathogenic bacteria in food. Pathogenic bacteria are dangerous bacteria that can cause diseases. The optimum temperature for their growth and reproduction is around 37℃, which is the closest in summer all year round. In summer, bacteria multiply very fast, and a bacterium will grow to 654.38+0.6 million in 6 hours.

People sweat a lot in summer, and the human body dilutes the gastric juice after drinking a lot of water. Coupled with poor rest, the human body's resistance drops, creating conditions for the invasion of pathogenic bacteria. In summer, people like to eat fruits, cold drinks, cool vegetables and other foods, which are easily contaminated by pathogenic bacteria. Diarrhea caused by eating contaminated food is called infectious diarrhea.

There are dozens of bacteria known to cause diarrhea, such as Shigella causing bacillary dysentery, Salmonella causing gastrointestinal food poisoning, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli and so on. If the water, meat, eggs, milk and other foods we eat are contaminated by these bacteria, it will easily lead to intestinal diseases. Once diarrhea and vomiting occur, you should go to the hospital immediately for timely and correct treatment.
