Who is at Risk of Campylobacter Holiday Food Poisoning
Campylobacter Holiday Food Poisoning does not discriminate, can affect anyone and can ruin anyone’s holiday although certain people are more susceptible to it due to weaker immune systems, such as:
- People who were ill already
- People who are still recovering from an illness or bug,
- Elderly people
- Pregnant women
- Young children
- Babies
Time Frame for Symptoms to Develop
Symptoms of Campylobacter Holiday Food Poisoning typically develop within 2 to 5 days of being infected and the symptoms usually last for between 7 days to a number of weeks.
Treatment of Campylobacter Holiday Food Poisoning
Drinking plenty of water will help to keep your body hydrated which will allow your immune system to fight the holiday food poisoning. If your symptoms do not subside within the time frame mentioned above then it would be sensible to consult your GP or Hospital who might suggest a course of antibiotics to help you shake off your Holiday Food Poisoning.
