E. coli is a type of bacteria that normally lives in the intestines of humans and animals. Most strains of E. coli are harmless, but some can cause infections that may lead to diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, fever, and sometimes more serious complications.
Some of the common causes of E. coli infection are:
- Eating or drinking contaminated food or water, such as undercooked meat, raw milk, or untreated water.
- Coming into contact with feces from infected people or animals, such as through poor hygiene, handling animals, or swimming in polluted water.
- Traveling to areas where E. coli infection is more common, such as developing countries.
To prevent E. coli infection, you should:
- Cook meat thoroughly and avoid cross-contamination of raw and cooked foods.
- Drink pasteurized milk and boiled or bottled water.
- Wash your hands frequently, especially before eating or preparing food, after using the bathroom, or after touching animals.
- Avoid swallowing water when swimming or playing in lakes, ponds, or pools.
- Seek medical attention if you have symptoms of E. coli infection, especially if you have bloody diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, or signs of dehydration.
