Food poisoning avoidance tips....
Delhi belly, bombay bottom, calcutta colon... Vietnamise volcano etc etc. We've all had it no doubt.
Before I head to South East Asia, who's got some good tips for avoiding it ??
I've got a few but please add more. I'm pretty immune to a lot of it now but that's because I've had it bad more than a few times and follow these rules.
Don't eat the meat in India.... An Indian man from London told me that he visits all over India 10 times a year and the only time he gets ill when he returns is if he eats the meat. Go Veggie. Most the country is anyway. For good reason... If I think back, it was always meat dishes that made me ill.
Brush your teeth with local water but don't drink it. Evidence shows minor exposure is the best way to acclimatise to a new variety of bacteria. Biting your nails helps also. Apparently.
Buy bottled or boil your water... Or only drink from where locals do. Giardia lives in even the cleanest of rivers.
Always carry a good strong antibiotic if you get hit. Ciprofloxicine is good. There is a specialised one for Giardia.
Bring em on..
