Prevention of acute intestinal diseases
Acute intestinal infections (OKI) - this is a large group of diseases caused by various microorganisms with a predominant lesion of the gastrointestinal tract. There are more than 30 of them, the most harmless of them is food poisoning, and the most dangerous is cholera.
The causative agents of intestinal infections can be: bacteria (salmonellosis, typhoid fever, cholera), their toxins (botulism), as well as viruses (enterovirus, norovirus, rotavirus) , etc.
From patients and carriers of infection, microbes are released into the external environment with feces, vomit, sometimes with urine. Almost all pathogens of intestinal infections are extremely tenacious. They are able to exist for a long time in the soil, water, and even on various objects. For example, on spoons, plates, door handles, and furniture. Intestinal microbes are not afraid of the cold, but still prefer to live where it is warm and humid. They multiply especially quickly in dairy products, minced meat, jelly, as well as in water (especially in the summer).
