What Is Travelers Diarrhea?
7. Other Risk factors
In addition to geographical location, there are other factors that put people at a higher risk of traveler’s diarrhea. This includes people with diabetes, and also people that have a weakened immune system. Travelling at certain times of the year can also increase your risk of catching the disease.
Other people at a higher risk include those that take antacids or acid blockers. Younger people are also at a higher risk. This may be down to young people being likely to be less cautious, and it may also be that they have not developed immunity as well as older people have.
