Diarrhea
What can be done to prevent the condition?
Frequent hand-washing with soap and warm water is the best way to prevent
diarrhea. This is especially important if a person has been exposed to anyone
who has diarrhea or has used a public restroom. It is often hard to prevent
diarrhea in children who attend day care. However, frequent hand-washing at the
day care center may reduce the risks of diarrhea.
To help prevent traveler's
diarrhea it is recommended that individuals avoid contaminated
water and food. They should also avoid uncooked vegetables or fresh
salads.
