Approximately 50,000 travelers per day fall prey to TD. Destination, quality of accommodations , and length of stay are the 3 major variables that contribute to the likelihood of contracting TD.

Traveler’s diarrhea is a clinical syndrome resulting from the ingestion of microbial contaminated food and water. Symptoms of TD are loose, watery or semi-formed stools, urgent in nature, which may or may not be accompanied by abdominal cramping. Associated vomiting may occur in up to 15% of cases.
