drinking water risks

The greatest health risk of traveling, touring and hiking is the ingestion of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and protozoa from drinking water. The following germs occur in drinking water: E-coli (Eschera coli), Salmonella (Salmonella typhimurium), Cholera (Vibrio cholera), Hepatitis A, Polo virus, Rota virus, Norwalk virus, Amoebic dysentery (Entamoeba histolytica), Cryptosporidium ( Cryptosporidium parvum), Lamblia (Giardia intestinalis). These are mainly derived from human and animal feces.
Using such contaminated water for drinking, washing and washing vegetables can quickly lead to infections.
According to the EU Drinking Water Directive 98/83 / EC, the water used for showering, washing clothing and dishwashing must also be of drinking water quality.

Traveler's Diarrhea

Today's desire to travel leads us more and more to remote areas, but also large cities with critical drinking water quality.

On average, every fourth holiday traveler is affected by traveler's diarrhea. In various places, the number rises to 80%. Diarrhea can upset a travel plan. Usually a traveler's diarrhea is over within 3-4 days. However, difficult cases require post-treatment at home.

The best tips on travel diarrhea

If travel diarrhea has already occurred, the lost fluid and electrolytes must be replaced. Often there are sugar-electrolyte mixtures available in stores. Or drink lightly sugared tea, bouillon or fruit juices. In mild cases, you can also get relief with anti-diarrheal medications.
If you have a fever, blood tests or no improvement for several days you should consult a doctor.

Further uses of BioClean

Algae and impurities in drinking water
