Personally I'm a great fun of food stuffs and this hasn't left me out of this sticky situation as I'm also passionate about traveling and visiting new places.
This then raises my point of concern over food safety practices and choice of kind of food to eat and drinks to carry while on such advances. There are a number of safe foods and drinks one can get to tag along with and consume without fear of getting poisoned or having to humiliate oneself with a rumbling tummy and diarrhea.
Habits to keep off while traveling
- Food adventures. Being foodie comes with alot of unprecedented levels of enthusiasm to try out different foods of different types and preparations from the different places of visitation. This makes it a big challenge to control this kind of habit.
- Consumption of room temperature food items. The temperature is usually referred to as the “danger zone” best for growth and survival of pathogens (bacteria, viruses and fungi) which may cause food poisoning.
- Avoid ingestion of raw foods. This implies especially to the vegetables and fruits which might have been washed with running water from the tap, hence contamination of the products.
- Keep off drinks from unknown sources especially tap water. Tap water is never safe for drinking unless treated or boiled. Vast research show most undrinkable tap water are contaminated with bacteria, amoeba, hepatitis or even viruses.
- Presumptions of food safety practices. Only intake hot or cold food items and drinks while on a journey. Don't forget to also carry with you some medications incase of the stomach upsets, gasses or even a heartburn.
Fact Space:
Food poisoning tends to be most severe in impoverished to low-income countries. It is most common in Africa and Southeast Asia. The death rates from foodborne illness are the highest in these countries. Reasons include unclean or unsafe water supply, poor personal hygiene and subpar food production and storage conditions. If you're going to a developing country, follow these tips — even if you are staying at a five-star hotel.
