Prevention
Many cases of traveler's diarrhea can be prevented. Keep the following rules in mind, even in expensive resorts and hotels.
Alcohol does not sterilize water, so be cautious about contaminated water (including ice) used in mixed drinks.
-
Carbonated beverages and bottled water are usually safe to drink, but don't use ice, which could be contaminated. Drink from the bottle with a straw, rather than out of a glass. The glass may have been washed with contaminated water.
