Preventative Measures With Water

In a restaurant, ask for a bottle of water UNOPENED. Have them open it at the table, and you can be sure you won't get local water ... bottled. Asking for drinks with no ice cubes is another way to be as safe as possible.

Most people know to ask for unopened bottled water when traveling in areas where the drinking water is not safe, but they may not realize that it's all too easy to get sick from ingesting water while showering, even if trying to keep one's mouth closed. The solution: Always keep mouthwash in your mouth while showering. It will help you remember to keep your mouth closed, and the antibacterial agent in it will help purify any water that gets in anyway (i.e. through your nose)
