is the metamorphism of amino acids, the hydrolysis and oxidation of fat, which causes the body to be toxic. When poisoning this food, the incubation period is very short, only about 30 minutes to 3 hours after eating.

The common manifestation of bacterial food poisoning cases is vomiting, intermittent abdominal pain, continuous diarrhea (over 3 times in 24 hours), loose, viscous stools, or even water and blood mucus like nose. Electrolyte disorder, sometimes with chest tightness, difficulty breathing . The most common pathogenic bacteria are intestinal bacteria such as golden staphylococcus, amoeba dysentery .

Cholera is a disease closely related to food safety and hygiene and eating and drinking. The disease is easy to cause. The route of infection is fecal-oral. People with typical cholera suffer from digestive disorders such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea many times in a day and night, loose stools, sometimes with lumpy grains.

Typhoid : Is one of the common intestinal diseases in the summer, related to unhygienic eating. The disease is caused by salmonella bacteria. The disease is easy to cause. People with typhoid often have digestive disorders such as abdominal cramps, diarrhea. If not detected and treated promptly, it can lead to septicemia, more dangerous than intestinal perforation due to typhoid.

Bacillary dysentery : It is also a gastrointestinal disease caused by shigella. The disease is easy to cause. The pathogen is also stool - mouth. In shigella types, type I is very dangerous due to S.shiga. This type of bacteria causes disease by foreign toxins so the clinical symptoms caused by this type are very loud, easily leading to danger and endangering the patient's life.

Amoeba dysentery : This disease is caused by parasitic amoeba. Dysentery is also related to eating problems, especially eating raw vegetables, drinking water. The disease is easily spread in the family and spread to people around.

The disease spreads through the respiratory tract

Such as pharyngitis, nose, ear, viral fever, measles, Rubella, meningitis caused by meningococcal disease are more likely to occur when pathogens are present and in poor living conditions. Insect-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and Japanese encephalitis often arise in the summer.

Because of the heat, if you don't sleep in the curtain, it will be a favorable condition for mosquito bites to suck blood and transmit germs. Dengue outbreaks are showing signs of strong increase in the southern provinces.

Non-infectious diseases

Heatstroke, heat stroke: Symptoms of the disease are sudden hyperthermia sometimes up to 40-41oC, accompanied by consciousness disorders (delirium, lethargy .), loss of consciousness or deep coma (can heavy). The heatstroke happens in the summer, especially during the hot noon, the sunshine of many ultraviolet rays, and the heat of drunkenness often occurs in the late afternoon in hot days, without the wind, the sun There are many infrared rays. If not handled promptly, it is easy to lead to death.

Diseases caused by sudden temperature changes : In summer, it is hot but it should not be bathed too many times a day. Do not take a bath immediately when you are tired or after a lot of exercise, you cannot rest. Do not go outside from the sun and turn on the air conditioner immediately or vice versa. Air conditioner should not be too cold, the set temperature should only be 8-10oC difference compared to the outside temperature is reasonable (26oC is the most appropriate temperature for the body).

How disease prevention?

For intestinal diseases, it is recommended to eat cooked and cooked. When diarrhea occurs, the patient must drink enough water, preferably oresol, to drink plenty of fruit juice. Patients with diarrheal disease need to manage and handle the stool very well, avoiding spread.

For acquired diseases caused by insect-borne insects need to lie in the curtain, impregnate the curtain with mosquito repellent or rub mosquito-repellent cream, use mosquito repellent (especially populated areas with circulating fluids).

To prevent sunstroke, heatstroke, when going, standing outside in the sun should wear hats, wide-brimmed hats, not to allow long-term exposure to the sun. In the most crowded places, especially in the examination room, a good ventilation system is required. When it is hot, drink salt water to avoid dehydration and electrolytes.

To prevent disease due to sudden temperature changes, do not sit in an air-conditioned room for more than 2 hours at a time. Drinking plenty of water is also a way to prevent dry throat when sitting in the room to regulate too much, too long. Besides, you should put a basin of water in the air-conditioned room, wipe the floor with water-absorbent rags and every time you go from the cold room to the outside, open the door and stand at the door for 2-3 minutes so that the body can adapt to it. new gas.
