○ Wash food: Whether it's apples, pears, zucchini or peppers - wash fruit and vegetables before eating them, especially if you want to eat them raw.

So make sure you can disinfect your hands. You can also carry small units of less than 100ml in your hand luggage on a flight.

○ Use drinking water: Especially in distant countries, make sure that you really only consume drinking water. This should also be served in restaurants in plastic bottles and the bottle should still be sealed in the original. If this is not the case, the bottle may have been filled with tap water. If the local water is not suitable for drinking, you should also brush your teeth with bottled water.

○ Choose the right restaurant: An old tip among travelers is that the best place to eat is where the locals eat. They usually have better food at better prices than the typical tourist traps. And you're less likely to get an upset stomach there, too.
