Question

Which of the following practices would not help prevent a food borne illness when traveling to another country? (A) avoid brushing your teeth with the local tap water (B) avoid eating salads and unpasteurized dairy products (C) enjoy local raw food specialties (D) only eat fruits that you have peeled yourself

Answer 1

(C) enjoy local raw food specialties

This would not help prevent a foodborne illness when traveling to another country. In fact, it can increase the risk of contracting a foodborne illness. Consuming raw or undercooked foods, especially meats, seafood, and eggs, in a foreign country can expose the body to pathogens that the body may not be accustomed to.
