More seriously, cholera, typhoid and hepatitis A can be contracted from contaminated food and water.
Don’t get ill
- always wash your hands after going to the toilet, before handling food and before eating
- use bottled water if you have any doubts about the quality of the water. Check the seals are unbroken
- boil water or filter it using a water 'purifier' – this is more effective than sterilisation tablets
- eat fresh, thoroughly cooked food that is still piping hot
- avoid food that has been kept warm
You should avoid
- ice used in drinks and used to keep food cool, unless you’re sure it is made from treated or chlorinated water
- uncooked fruit and vegetables, unless you can peel them yourself
- food exposed to flies
- ice cream from unreliable sources, such as kiosks or mobile traders
- milk, cheese and other dairy products unless they are pasteurised and have been properly refrigerated
- undercooked or raw seafood or shellfish
- excessive amounts of alcohol
