What To Do When You Get The Runs AKA Diarrhea February 28, 2007

Regardless of what country I seem to travel to I am often confronted with the question, “Hey Doc, I think I have diarrhea. What do I do?” For those of you who want a better answer than, “Well if you think it’s bacterial take Cipro 500mg BID for 3 days” (Antibiotics are often over prescribed) you can download these two up to date (UpToDate) resources. Read the article relevant to your area of travel and you should have no more questions. Suerte!

And in case you were wondering how long you should boil water for here is your answer:

The correct amount of time to boil water is 0 minutes. Thats right, zero minutes.

“According to the Wilderness Medical Society, water temperatures above 160° F (70° C) kill all pathogens within 30 minutes and above 185° F (85° C) within a few minutes. So in the time it takes for the water to reach the boiling point (212° F or 100° C) from 160° F (70° C), all pathogens will be killed, even at high altitude.”
