Whether by good luck, good management or a combination of the two, we hope to stay free of intestinal and other disorders while here.
We've been told that the water is "lethal", and having been here two days I'd be surprised if anything wasn't contaminated in some way.
We've hopefully covered the basics with the water. I have a 0.2 micron filter and some bleach for chlorination. Joel has a UVc Steripen and Kobus has bleach as well. Water treated in one or more of those ways is all we drink unless the water has been boiled. Tea is OK.
Fruits and veggies are always suspect because you don't know what they've been washed in or how they've been handled.
All of us have hand sanitizer.
You always brush your teeth with treated water. Never from the tap.
I'm assuming that when showering you would keep your mouth closed. This could be an academic point because we've yet to see any hot water from any tap. Only running cold water, so I'm staying dry.
Food from street vendors is probably not a good idea. Sadly.
Restaurants are best if they have been recommended.
