Callao Region, Peru
After 7 days on a college Mission Trip, I woke up with 104.5 fever, stomach ache diarrhea. Next day, fever, BLOODY diarrhea, pouring out like water, weak, SEVERE stomach pain. Went to hospital, diagnosed with Gastritis and intestine infection. Flew home to Texas next morning. Hospital in Texas, diagnosed me with E-Coli, I was hemorrhaging!! This was NOT the normal traveler's stomach revenge. Glad I flew home!!!! May have contracted this thru a 3 meat dish I was given at a day camp. But 70 of us ate this and I'm the only one with this condition. It could have been that I picked up a frisbee thrown into the horse pen then ate with no hand washing facilities. Also I used sink water one time to wet my toothbrush but used bottled water to rinse. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Nausea, Vomiting, Gas, Stomach Pain, Weakness
