Question: I am going to India this year. I hear most people get Delhi belly is there anything I can do?
Answer:Yes, you can. In addition to ordering effective antibiotics from us, there are some other measures you can take yourself.
1. Personal hygiene - always wash your hands very thoroughly, especially before handling or eating food. Carry some antibacterial hand gel or wipes with you for when no water is to hand.
2. Water - Refrain from drinking unbottled water of a dubious source. Always drink from a previously unopened, sealed bottle, preferrably sparkling water as tap water is often sold as still mineral water to unsuspecting holiday makers. Use mineral water also to brush your teeth. If you prepare a hot beverage, ensure the water is boiling for a good few minutes before using it.
3. Food - refrain from eating food bought at the road side or on markets where it's been out on display all day. Only eat freshly prepared food that's been thoroughly cooked. Take great care with meat and shellfish as well as raw fruit and veg. It should be peeled or otherwise cooked.
