| Healthy travel starts with 'safe' water and food. Purifying water is well-known - the importance of eating & drinking from 'clean' utensils is seriously underestimated. Where 'safe' tap water is unavailable utensils are frequently washed in contaminated water and wiped with an equally dirty cloth. Another source of stomach infection comes from sharing utensils with people who already have a stomach upset. Using your own utensils cuts down on these risks considerably.
Rehydration is the key to avoiding some of the more serious complications of travellers diarrhoea. Carrying rehydration sachets is always a good idea, having the ability to make your own is the best back up you can have.
