Heading to Cabo San Lucas next week, is it safe to drink the water? What about fruits & vegetables...someone told me they fertilize with sewage? Any other tips?
Thanks.

Most of the 5 star resorts have their own purified water system, and you do can drink from the tap.
Municipal water it is also purified, but taste to much chlorine, that's why we buy bottled water.
About fruit and vegetables, always rinse them, and for lettuce, put it in water and some drops of chlorine (bleach) for 30 minutes and rinse it again.
Most of americans blame the water, but the reason the may get seek is because they are exposed to different bacteria that they are used to. It can happen when you travel to a different city even in your own country.
The ice cubes are also made from purified water.
Just be safe, don't worry, enjoy your vacations.

Calm down people, it's not a third-world country you Americans, just drink water fully awarred not idiotically. The Fruits and Vegetables are OK but double check some of the products always.

you can eat the fruits and vegetables, but i wouldn't recommend drinking their tap water. if you can, stick to the mineral or bottled water sold in cabo because what they clarify their tap water with and what we use are totally different. i would not take that kind of a risk. my cousin went to india and drank their water and got really sick. that's why when i went there, i kept bottled water with me.

Only drink bottled water from a reputable supplier & all the fruit & veg is washed in tap water so be carful its not very pleasant when you have a nasty tummy bug, Have a good trip & be carful.

Drink only bottled water and be careful of what you eat. My tip would be not to go.

Only if it's well mixed with alcohol.
