by Diagana Mariam 18 August 2022
Hospitals in the Mauritanian capital, Nouakchott, have been registering hundreds of cases of acute diarrhea for several days, according to a medical source working in the emergency department of a government hospital in Nouakchott.
The medical source said that the cases of acute diarrhea are due to food poisoning caused by the spoilage of food and foodstuffs, due to the autumn season.
The source added that the poisoning is more prevalent among the elderly and children, noting that some hospitals in the capital are recording at least 150 cases of the disease daily.
The source added that the aforementioned poisoning was caused by the spoilage of food, whether canned or fresh, noting that the most common cause of poisoning was food prepared in restaurants.
The mentioned poisoning is accompanied by vomiting, severe diarrhea and loss of appetite, in addition to severe pain in the stomach.
However, the medical source emphasized that the disease does not pose a threat to human life, noting that going to the hospital as soon as possible helps speed up recovery.
The medical source called for the need to wash hands before eating and clean vegetables and fruits before eating them, and he also warned against foods that have been prepared for some time.
These seasonal diseases are common in large cities, especially during the rainy season.
