Stomach Upsets While Traveling
I can manage to pick up food poisoning or get stomach upsets at home in the United States. Everyone eats something, somewhere, that doesn't want to stay down. But at least I'm usually in my own house with my own "white throne" to be deathly sick in.
It's common knowledge that a smart traveler avoids: fruit that cannot be peeled; raw vegetables; unclean water; and raw fish/meats. Scrupulously clean hands are another important must. We all know these rules and I do my best to follow them.
Stomach upsets when traveling raises this problem to a whole new level. And, if you have the "stomach" (ha-ha) to read the following, I'll share some of my worst (and most memorable) experiences and perhaps you can avoid the same mistakes.
