It is a violent case of the trots
Only among the very young and the very stupid can this be deadly.
The very young must be taked to some medical facility for quich rehydration and the stupid, well, we're better off with out them, I suppose.
You only get this from eating sh!t. No other way to say it. It is one of the multitude of "hand to mouth" illnesses prevalent in poor countries.
In small children fast rehydration is the key and the famous 7-1-1 solution is important to remember
7 teaspoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 liter of boiled water
Put into a clean baby bottle and given to the child as much and as fast as possible.
The get the child to the doctor's office or local hospital asap!. Young children can only go three or four hours with these violent diarrhea and vomiting attacks before death sets in.
