While the monsoon brings coolness and relief on the one hand, it also causes many diseases. In this season, moisture in the atmosphere increases, causing bacteria and viruses to grow rapidly. Its biggest impact is on our digestive system. In the rain, people often eat dirty or half -hearted things, which increases the risk of stomach infection. Contaminated water, food sold in the open and lack of cleanliness can also cause stomach diseases. In such a situation, let us know what symptoms of stomach infection are seen due to monsoon and how to protect it.
Due to excessive moisture and dirt in the atmosphere during the monsoon season, bacteria and viruses grow rapidly. The roads become dirty due to rain water and the water of the drains often reaches food and drink. In such a situation, food outside, especially street food, becomes contaminated and causes infection when going into the stomach. Apart from this, drinking water is also not cleaned many times in the rain, which can cause diseases like typhoid, cholera, food poisoning and gastroenteritis. In the monsoon, often people do not cover the things cooked in the house or ignore the habit of repeated washing hands, which easily reach the stomach and affect the digestive system.
