@Martita: Glad our tips were helpful…even in possibly saving your life

Please let us know how it works out next time with the fruits and vegetables, whether you are in Peru or somewhere else.

Thank you for tips. Peru is my home when I’m not in the U.S. Every time I go home I get sick and I’m pretty sick of it! Also, the fruit is wonderfull and so are the vegetables but I’m afraid to eat them fresh. I love the tip about purified water and a little bleach for washing the fruit before peeling and eating. I’d love to lose weight but not by hugging the bowl! I had been thinking to eat all the fruit and vegetables I can fast, knowing I’m going to get sick. I think you might have saved me, maybe.
Thank you.

[...] When it comes to local food, follow the lead of locals. If there’s a long line of locals, there’s probably a good reason for it. To stay safe, consider these street food tips. [...]

Like the pun at the end (whether intended or not) – “crap shoot”. LOL.
We are traveling to Cambodia in December to visit our daughter and this will prove very helpful.

@Leigh: Hurrah for scientific proof of what we’ve thought for years! I knew all of those habenero peppers from Mexico were doing some good And good advice on seafood far away from the ocean…always cringe when I see sushi places in mountain villages.

Some scientific proof of spicy killing bacteria.

I’d also add to the list… don’t eat seafood, especially shellfish, when you’re far from the ocean.

@Fiona: You are welcome.

@Nostradamus: I like the suggestion of ordering a glass of hot water. And we totally agree: street food can actually be better because it’s fresh, piping hot and turning over quickly. But the food that’s been standing around, give it a pass.

The tip of looking for restaurants popular with locals is a good suggestion (and what we do) not only for stomach health, but also for finding good food. And usually good food that’s reasonably priced. Go where the locals go!

Regarding the water bottle being opened at the table, that’s a healthy dose of skepticism. And a fair point, especially in places like India where resealed bottles are pretty common.

Thank you for a thorough and useful comment.
