I
know that when we travel we love tasting different foods of the country, just
be careful with some details so you don't get contaminated and you enjoy great
holidays or a fruitful business trip especially in countries with poor hygiene!
Careful with tap water: it's one of the leading causes of death worldwide!!
Common diseases are diarrhea, rotavirus, and cholera especially in countries
where hygiene is not a priority. Buy bottled water and always wash from outside
any can of juice, soft drinks, beer that you may have. Also don't brush your
teeth with tap water.
Ice: because the water might
be contaminated, consuming ice is also not a good idea, unless it's from bottle
water or boiled water
When you eat in the streets or
in buffets and the food is not covered, there's a risk that flies deliver bacteria
from other places they flew to before or even put their feces in the food, so
it's better to eat in places where food is covered if you see that there are
lots of flies in this place
wash your hands and make sure
that the person preparing your food has his hands clean to prevent you from
many diseases
Order hot meals to avoid bacterial
contamination thru cold meals
Be careful to eat food exposed
to the sun, like shrimps at the beach of Rio de Janeiro for example! Any food
in the streets or beach should be avoided especially in hot weather because
bacteria multiply fast in such climate
Avoid raw foods even fruits
and vegetables that might have been washed with contaminated water. Always
boil, remove the skin and cook in such situations where water is not clean.
With all
this care you can only enjoy your trip!
