answer 2 Dysentery is a disorder of the intestines, producing bloody stools or very liquid ones. Rarely vomiting. The proximate cause is often an infection, of amoeba or bacteria, which result in the gut not being able to recover water from the system. As consequence the patient may become dangerously dehydrated.
Ingestion of infection is considered the common cause, and good personal hygiene, coupled with quality food and drink preparation are essential. Travellers often confuse infection with simple reactions to unusual food. (which would clear up in a couple of days)
The danger of dehydration is not just the loss of fluid, as along with the fluid are salts vital to well-being. In desperate situations, intravenous fluids may be necessary.
I am not a medico, and better advice is needed.
