How to avoid traveller’s diarrhoea

There are certain foods that are much more likely to cause a problem. You should avoid uncooked meat or seafood, shellfish and any food that contains raw or undercooked eggs such as mayonnaise or sauces. While the Food Standards Agency has put runny and raw eggs back on the menu in the UK for everyone, including pregnant women and the elderly, this only applies to British eggs stamped with the Lion brand. In other countries, raw eggs can carry a risk of salmonella. it's also really important to keep away from salads and peeled fruits, which may have become contaminated with bugs during the food preparation.
