 We are so fortunate that the knowledge of the U.S. environmental
and health codes allow us to never to think of questioning
the safety of the meat, fish, or vegetables and fruit we
buy, any more than when we order a drink with ice cubes in
it, or turn on the faucet for a drink of water, we expect
it to be safe. The only time we show concern about water
is when we are camping, we use camping water filters to make
sure is not contaminated.
Other
parts of the world are not as fortunate. Many foods are
not refrigerated properly; water comes from many questionable
sources and requires water purification tablets and filters.
We know from experience that 6 out of ten people traveling
to other countries inadvertently expose themselves to traveler’s
diarrhea by eating foods or drinking water that is contaminated.
Our water bottle filters and water purification tablets
if used properly can eliminate this hazard which can cause
Typhoid fever, E.coli, Giardia, and other bacteria and protozoas
exposure.
If you get traveler’s diarrhea one of the dangers is
dehydration. Our Oral Rehydration Salts product is one of
the best ways to avoid this. When mixed with a liter of safe
water it replaces the electrolytes lost by the body and eases
the weakness and malaise experienced by this loss. There
are commercial diarrhea remedies, but if there is no improvement
after several days’ medical assistance may be needed. |
