The creature lay patiently, unseen, waiting for the right time to strike. Too early and the intended victims would be expecting it. Too late and it wouldn't matter. Then, when the victims were full of confidence that they were no longer under threat, it struck viciously and claimed three victims.
Not until the end of the second week did we get what we had expected earlier - traveler's diarrhea. We took purified water wherever we went and only drank bottled or canned beverages in restaurants. By the end of the second week, we weren't even thinking about diarrhea.

One of the things that westerners should do, when traveling around India, is carry toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Trust me, you want to do that.
