Diarrhea can spread illnesses like Shigellosis. Shigellosis is an infection of the intestines caused by bacteria called Shigella. If the infected person has not washed his/her hands well after going to the bathroom or changing diapers, then their hands can be contaminated and the infection can spread to others. Sexual activity can also be a cause of the illness spreading.
