Overview
Each year 20%-50% of international travelers, an estimated 10 million people, develop diarrhea. The onset of TD usually occurs within the first week of travel but may occur at any time while traveling, and even after returning home. TD is also known to mountaineers, as it can occur in camps due to poor sanitary conditions. There are a number of colloquialisms for travelers' diarrhea contracted in various localities, such as Montezuma's Revenge for travelers' diarrhea contracted in Mexico.
