Answer 2

When visiting areas with poor sanitation, avoid traveler's diarrhea by taking extra precautions with water and food.
Instructions

* STEP 1: Consider the following safe to drink: commercially bottled water with an unbroken seal, canned or bottled carbonated drinks, beverages made with vigorously boiled water, and wine and beer in their original containers.
* STEP 2: Check seals on water bottles carefully; if the seal has been tampered with, the bottle may have been refilled with tap water.
* STEP 3: Wipe off the lip of any bottle or can before drinking or pouring from it.
* STEP 4: Consider nondisposable glasses and cups unsanitary; drink from original containers and use sanitary straws, or carry your own cups.
* STEP 5: Boil untreated water to purify it. Use both a filter and iodine tablets if bottled or boiled water is not available.
* STEP 6: Avoid ice, fruit juice and any drinks made with tap water, such as mixed drinks or lemonade.
* STEP 7: Brush your teeth with bottled water, and make sure to rinse your toothbrush with bottled water. Try not to swallow water when taking a shower.
* STEP 8: Avoid any foods that may be rinsed in water, including salads, raw fruits and raw vegetables. Also stay away from dairy products if there's a question about pasteurization.
* STEP 9: Eat meat, poultry and fish only if they are well-cooked, and make sure that cooked food is served hot. Some fish from contaminated waters may be toxic even after cooking; if there is any doubt, do without.

Tips & Warnings

* Traveler's diarrhea, which is usually caused by consuming feces-contaminated water or food, may clear up by itself. But if it is very watery and lasts for several days, or if you are vomiting and have a fever, seek medical care; it may be a sign of a more serious infection.
* If you choose to eat raw fruits and vegetables, peel them.
* For boiling water, consider purchasing an immersion coil. If you are traveling to a foreign country, you may also need to purchase a plug adapter and current converter.
* If you have any questions or concerns, contact a physician or other health care professional before engaging in any activity related to health and diet. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
