Diarrhoea On Holiday

Got this flyer when I attended the BPSA(British Pharmaceutical Student Association) today. Just thinking of sharing this.

How to avoid Diarrhoea on holiday?

1. Avoid buffets, salads, food from street vendors(this is going to be slightly tougher than the rest I suppose), peeled fruit and raw vegetables.

2. Make sure food is properly covered and refrigerated. It's always safer to stick to hot, well cooked food.

3. Remember this motto: Boil it, cook it, peel it or forget it!

4. Only eat products that have been kept well refrigerated and have not been refrozen.

5. Drink bottled, boiled, purified or sterilised water and avoid ice cubes as they are usually made from local water.

Hard to stick to these! But anyway, prevention is better than cure so just watch out of what you guys eat~
