Water in Mexico?

Question

Ok I understand that the water many places in Mexico may contain bacteria or virus's or something that may make you sick. The problem is, if I go, I would be travleing to Toluca, Mexico, and staying with my husbands family, I will also have my 3 year old son with me. I would guess that it would be very difficult for me to make certian that we used nothing but bottled water, for cooking, washing vegies, brushing teath, bathing my 3 year old who still drinks the bath water, ect., ect., ect. So how do I know if the waters safe and what can I do if it's not? Also wondering about any immunizations my son might need before going.

thank you for your help, but i already understand that you should use bottled water. My question is how am i supposed to make sure that happens. I will be having an extended stay, and I will be living with family, that will probably be preparing most of the meals. Not at a hotel, that is used to catering to international travlers.

Answer 1

only small places like small towns.....just drink your own bottled water and take as much water as possible....for cooking, washing vegies, brushing teath, bathing it would be safe to use the water thats in mexico...
