What is traveler's diarrhea? / What are the causes of it?
Traveler’s Diarrhea is caused by viruses and parasites, but is most often caused by bacteria.
-People get traveler's diarrhea by eating food and drinking water that contain germs. People can get this illness in areas of the world where the drinking water is not clean.
-When people travel to a new place, they are more likely to become sick, because they lack protective antibodies (infection-fighting agents in the blood) that attack these germs.
