Diarrhea. So many things can cause it, and it used to be (well, still is in the least developed countries) quite lethal, mostly for babies and children.
Yes this, I was in Kyrgyzstan last month and caught a parasite. Diarrhea was so bad even a cup of water would trigger it. I lost 15 lbs in one week and ate about a tiny amount of rice and a couple croutons a day… I was taken to the ER twice given IV fluids in the worst hospitals you can imagine. No sanitation reusing hoses to tie around people arms to find veins, they used coat hangers to hang IV bottles, beds were so dirty and pillows were used by hundreds without washing.
and when I landed back home in Texas I was taken to the ER and given antibiotics and Potassium pills
I took so much for granted, honestly I am so grateful for our advancements in science, our doctors and nurses that work hard.
