A seasonal wave of gastroenteritis moves through Andalusia, prompting regional health authorities to remind residents that the oldest tools of public health — clean hands, clean surfaces, and patient rest — remain the most reliable defense. The illness spreads easily and arrives without warning, yet carries no specific cure, placing the burden of both prevention and recovery squarely in the hands of ordinary daily habit. In most cases, the body heals itself; the task is simply not to let dehydration win, and not to pass the virus on.
