  • If you drink water, buy it bottled or bring it to a rolling boil for 1 minute before you drink it. Bottled carbonated water is safer than uncarbonated water.
  • Ask for drinks without ice, unless the ice is made from bottled or boiled water. Avoid popsicles and flavored ices that may have been made with contaminated water.
  • Eat foods that have been thoroughly cooked and are still hot and steaming.
  • Avoid raw vegetables and fruits that cannot be peeled. Lettuce can remain contaminated even after it is washed.
  • When you eat raw fruit or vegetables that can be peeled, peel them yourself. (Wash your hands with soap first.)
  • Avoid foods and beverages from street vendors.
