-Symptoms

-What to do to avoid it
- How to get rid of it
That's It!!!!
My Topic is some bacteria called "Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli"......I know sounds confusing huh.

Answer 1

-It's E-Coli, but it's scientific name is what you said, "Diarrheagenic Escherichia Coli"

-Nausea, Vomiting, Stomach Cramps, Bloody Diarrhea (Ew, I know), Fever (101 F, 38.3 C), Malaise, Dehydration, Loss of appetite

-All age groups can be affected by E Coli, but the elderly and the young can be the most at risk

-Wash your food, keep it clean, keep raw meats away from other foods to avoid cross-contamination, do NOT defrost meat on table tops or counters

-Symptoms last 5-10 days, staying hydrated and staying rested helps you; Antidiarrheals should NOT be taken, but Antibiotics taken in portions, like Trimethoprim or Sulfamethoxazole are fine, although e-coli is known to go away on its own.
