How it works

Rest supports immune function during infection. Rigorous hand hygiene is the single most effective measure to prevent spread of infectious diarrhoea to others.

Stay home from work or school until 48 hours after last loose stool if diarrhoea is infectious. Avoid preparing food for others during illness.

Why strong evidence

Hand hygiene is one of the most evidence-supported public health interventions. Multiple studies confirm it significantly reduces transmission of gastrointestinal infections.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
