Food/Water in foreign countries?

Question

Does the water in Costa Rica make you sick like the water in Mexico does? If so is there any other food or drink i should watch out for while im there.

Answer 1

We haven't had any problems in Costa Rica, but it pays to be careful and follow the rules to drink bottled water and drinks with no ice, etc...  Having said that, we eat salads and brush our teeth with tap water and usually have no problems.  But check out our page on Pepto-Bismol.  

When we travel anywhere I always take Pepto-Bismol with us.  My little hubby used to get sick everywhere... and once we started taking Pepto-Bismol as a preventative he has no problems.  We try not to drink the water in some countries, but we eat everything everywhere.  You can check our site for more details:  http://www.mousetourstravels.com/pepto-b...

Happy travels... even if you don't travel the world... just remember that life is a journey... embrace and enjoy it!  http://www.mousetourstravels.com
