When travelling to tropical and subtropical regions, there is always a chance of contracting a bacterial infection that turns into traveller’s diarrhea. It is estimated that about 30–50% of travellers develop traveller’s diarrhea in the first two weeks abroad.[1][2][3]
This particular illness is self-limiting, often lasting one to three days with treatment,[1] but up to seven days for those who let it run its course (sometimes longer depending on the type of infection).
