Rise In Stomach Infection Cases: Here’s How To Stay Safe

The monsoon may bring much-needed relief from the heat, but it also creates the perfect conditions for infections. Waterlogging, poor sanitation, and food contamination during this season increase the risk of stomach infections like Acute Gastroenteritis (AGE).

There’s been a surge in AGE cases in your area. AGE is an intestinal infection caused by consuming contaminated food or water.

Take the following measures to protect yourself:

• Drink only boiled or purified water
  
• Wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet
  
• Eat only freshly cooked, hot food
  
• Avoid street food and unhygienic sources
  
• Wash fruits and veggies properly
  
• Store food at safe temperatures to prevent spoilage
  
• Keep utensils and cooking areas clean

Preventing AGE matters because it can cause severe dehydration and lead to serious health complications if not addressed early.
