Are You At Risk From Travellers' Diarrhoea?

Travellers' diarrhoea is the most common health condition facing British holidaymakers. Travel health experts believe that between 20-40% of travellers suffer diarrhoea on their holiday to some degree. This figure rises to 50% of people travelling to exotic destinations or developing countries.

Travellers' diarrhoea is acquired when a person travels from one country to another. It can range in its severity from a mild problem.
