Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Wilderness acquired diarrhea (WAD), wilderness-acquired diarrhea, wilderness diarrhea, or backcountry diarrhea, is diarrhea that is caused by pathogens that have infected people when they were in the wilderness. It is a much-discussed hazard among backpackers, hikers, campers and other outdoor recreationalists who visit remote areas of the developed world.Risk factors include drinking untreated surface water and insufficient washing of hands and food utensils. Cases of WAD tend to be self-limited and the specific cause (microbe) is most often never known. Based on both systematic and less formal reviews of epidemiologic data and literature, most medical and public health researchers who have studied the topic believe that the risks of WAD have been over-stated and are poorly understood by the public.
