What is safe?


  • In general, it is best not to drink tap water in a developing country.


  • Ice is not safe. Freezing water does not destroy most infections.


  • Boiled water and drinks made from boiled water (tea) are usually safe.


  • Alcohol (beer, wine) is usually safe.


  • Carbonated bottled water or sodas are usually safe. Uncarbonated water may be safe, but even bottled water may be filled up from the local tap water source.


  • Iodine tablets or commercially available water filters may be used to purify water when camping.


  • In general, foods that you peel yourself (bananas) are safe.


  • Hot, well-cooked foods are usually safe.


  • Spices do not kill bacteria. Food can be so spicy that it burns your mouth and still cause traveler's diarrhea or more serious diseases.


  • Foods that put the traveler at high risk for infection include undercooked meat and seafood.


  • Foods washed in contaminated water may have a residue of bacteria.
