Monsoon health alert: What gastro infections should you watch out for?

“There is a sudden surge in the patients who come to our OPDs with stomach infections like diarrhoea, vomiting, fever or food poisoning. That’s because the flooding caused by rain causes contamination of water lines and there is a greater risk of toxins leaching into water that we use. And food that’s not prepared in the home with care is prone to being more unhygienic,” says Dr Anukalp Prakash, Lead Consultant, Gastroenterology, CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram.
