When traveling to India, foreigners should take precautions when it comes to food:

• Drink only bottled water or boiled/filtered water.

• Stick to thoroughly cooked foods to avoid foodborne illnesses.

• • Exercise caution with street food and opt for freshly cooked items served hot.

• Practice good hand hygiene and wash your hands frequently.

• Communicate food allergies and dietary restrictions clearly.

• Start with milder dishes and gradually increase spice levels if desired.

• Carry antidiarrheal medication like Pepto Bismol for digestive discomfort. Take one dose of Pepto Bismol (Bismuth subsalicylate) before each meal and once at night to avoid traveler’s diarrhea (please consult with your physician for any medications)
