What is Shigellosis?

Also called: Bacillary Dysentery, Waterborne Shigellosis

Shigellosis or Bacillary dysentery is a water-borne disease and is caused by the Shigella bacteria. The bacteria enter the body through contaminated food or water. The bacteria produce toxins which attack the delicate lining of the intestine. It can cause ulcers in the intestine and also give rise to bloody diarrhea fever and colic pain. Contamination of water sources usually due to bad sanitary habits are the usual cause of waterborne–Shigellosis. Bacillary dysentery is highly contagious and can be spread very easily by means of food or water. This means that waterborne–shigellosis can spread easily among family members, schools, infant care centers, nursing homes and other institution. Shigellosis can affect any age group but it is more commonly seen in children.

Tamir Goren "When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering. After an excessive research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work! She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass? And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
