Can Food Poisoning Cause Hair Color To Change?
My family have had a stomach bug which left most of us vomiting, we have hopefully past the worst and on the mend, but, I ve just had an interesting shower where every time I washed my hair (upstairs and down) a rust color was coming out, but I haven t dyed my hair in about 10yrs, and am a blonde to light brown color naturally, any ideas as to what mite be going on?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per the available literature there are no stomach bugs which can cause hair color change. Most likely the change in hair color is due to some other factor, most noticeable nutrition. In my opinion it will be appropriate if you can see your dietician.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
