Prevention of viral diarrhea
Wash your hands frequently to prevent the spread of viral diarrhea. To ensure that you or your child is to wash your hands, always:
Wash frequently. Wash your hands after preparing food, handling raw meat, going to the bathroom, changing diapers, sneezing, coughing and nose blowing.
Lather with soap for at least 20 seconds. When using the soap in your hands, rub your hands together for at least 20 seconds. This is almost time to sing "Happy Birthday" twice through.
Use hand sanitizer when washing is not possible. Use a hand sanitizer with alcohol when you can not get a sink. Apply hand sanitizer that you would hand lotion, making sure to completely cover the fronts and backs of hands. Use a product containing 60 percent alcohol.
Prevention of diarrhea from contaminated food
To protect against diarrhea caused by contaminated food:
Serve immediately or refrigerate food after being cooked or reheated. Leaving food at room temperature can encourage bacterial growth.
Wash work surfaces regularly to avoid spreading bacteria from one food to another. Wash your hands and your work surface for several hours during preparation.
Use the refrigerator to thaw frozen foods. Or try to make objects frozen in a plastic container of cold water to thaw. Do not let the freeze thaw on the counter.
Prevention of traveler's diarrhea
Diarrhea commonly affects people who travel to developing countries where diarrhea is sometimes due to inadequate sanitation and contaminated food and water. To reduce the risk:
Watch what you eat. Eat hot, well cooked. Avoid raw fruits and vegetables unless you can peel yourself. Also avoid raw or undercooked meat and dairy products.
Be careful what you drink. Bottled water, soda, beer or wine served in its original container. Avoid tap water and ice. Use bottled water even for brushing teeth. Keep your mouth closed while showering. Drink boiled water, such as coffee and tea are probably safe. Remember that alcohol and caffeine can aggravate diarrhea and dehydration.
Ask your doctor about using antibiotics. If you come from a developing country for an extended period, ask your doctor about starting antibiotics before you leave on your trip. In some cases this may reduce the risk that you develop traveler's diarrhea.
