Assoc. Prof. Dr. Doctor Akın Çam, who works in Iskenderun district of Hatay, said that citizens should pay attention to hygiene rules against diarrhea cases, which are frequently seen in the summer months.

Diarrhea cases, which are frequently seen in the society with the arrival of summer, continue to threaten the health of citizens. Internal Diseases Specialist Assoc. Dr. Akın Çam, who works in a private hospital in Iskenderun district, made important warnings to citizens against diarrhea cases. Stating that hand hygiene and hygiene in food consumption should be given importance, the specialist doctor drew attention to the importance of showering with clean water after swimming in the sea and pool.

Internal Diseases Specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Akın Çam, talking about the precautions to be taken against diarrhea cases that are frequently experienced in summer, said, “One of the problems we encounter a lot in the summer period is diarrhea. Of course, the important reason is that in the summer period, summer temperatures create a suitable environment for the proliferation of microbes that cause it. Therefore, we encounter diarrhea cases very frequently in the summer period. The following can be done as a precaution against diarrhea cases; the important problem consists of problems arising from water and food hygiene. Especially when traveling, it is useful not to consume products that we are not sure about the hygiene and cleanliness of eating and drinking. When we eat something at home or outside, we need to be sure of the hygiene and cleanliness of fresh vegetables and fruits. Consuming foods that have been kept and meals that have been kept is an important problem, especially reheated meals, and we need to pay attention to this. It is useful not to consume water that we are not sure of its cleanliness and hygiene, but rather to use closed water. In addition, if we are not sure about the cleanliness of the pools and seas we enter during the summer period, it is useful not to enter if possible. In other words, it is necessary to take a nice clean shower after swimming in the sea and pool, but when the complaints and symptoms start, I think it is useful to apply to the hospital in the early period and get medical help.”
