Hello, new guy here. Been reading an awful lot.
My family(wife 38, daughter 8 and son 7 ) and I are going to Coral Costa Caribe on February 14th. I've been reading a lot, probably too much about being safe and trying to not get sick while there. The following list is a direct result of reading too much, ignorance probably is bliss at some times:
1) Bring and use bug spray.
2) Bring and use Sunscreen.
3) Don't eat the salad.
4) Don't eat raw fruits or veggies.
5) Don't eat food if it looks as though it's been out for a while.
6) Do not drink the tap water, only bottled.
7) Don't shower with your mouth open.
8) Wash hands frequently.
I'm trying to not be overly paranoid but like I said, reading too much sometimes get me into trouble.
Okay, so that's the short list. The ones that bother me the most are: 3, 4 and 7. Is it possible that fruits and vegetables are washed with purified water and do the hotels freely disclose that or is it something that you need to ask. Anyone else have any other suggestions ? Mostly interested in keeping the youguns happy and healthy while we are there.
Thanks,
Mark
