Life Hygiene
- Avoid to walk barefoot. Every cut can be a source
of infection.
- Always wash your hands with soap before meals.
- If you have to require injections, please make
sure that the material is new or well disinfected.
Eating habits
In many countries tourists are exposed to gastric or
intestinal diseases. To reduce your chances of being
infected but not the one of enjoying Cambodian
cooking, better stick to eating :
- Freshly cooked food that is hot in temperature
when served,
- Cooked meat instead of raw fish or raw shellfish.
- Fresh fruits and vegetables that you will peel
and/or washed in safe water
Hydration
Travellers in tropical zones must make efforts to
avoid dehydration. Drinking plenty of safe liquids
can maintain fluid and electrolyte levels.
- Industrially bottled beverages and such boiled
beverages as tea and coffee are generally safe.
Vacationers should avoid drinking tap water or
untreated water from other sources. Different beers
are very popular but to the contrary, wine is not
improved by tropical heath nor by long travels.
- Off the beaten track, water disinfectant tablets
are easy to use and have proven highly effective on
clear water if you don’t forget to let silver
nitrate to react before you drink.
- Ice cream, ice cubes, cream cakes, unpasteurized
milk should definitely be avoided.
