Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) diarrhea is the most common cause of diarrhea when travelling to many areas of the world.

Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), an important cause of diarrhea in travellers to underdeveloped countries:

• Is transmitted by eating food or drinking water that is contaminated with enterotoxic strains of E. coli from human or animal feces
• Produces a toxin called heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) in 60% of cases

98% of travellers have been shown to make a food or water mistake within the first 3 days of their vacation:

• Drinking beverages with ice cubes or crushed ice
• Brushing teeth with tap water
• Consuming salads and uncooked vegetables
• Eating fruits which cannot be peeled
• Sampling local cuisine from street vendors
