Bengaluru hospitals report increased vomiting and diarrhea since March
India
Bengaluru has seen a noticeable jump in stomach-related illnesses since March, with more people landing in hospitals for vomiting and diarrhea.
Doctors say daily cases are up and symptoms are hitting harder this year, thanks to the summer heat speeding up contaminated food and bacteria growth.
Doctors advise boiled or filtered water
More folks are eating out and traveling, which ups the risk. Many rely on tanker water that isn't always clean, and construction around the city can mess with water pipelines.
Doctors recommend sticking to boiled or filtered water, skipping street food for now, and staying hydrated, especially if you're a kid, travel often, or use tanker water.
As one doctor put it: The situation is worsening and we need to be more careful.
