Dr. Alexander Myasnikov announced that the risk of intestinal infections increases in the summer, so how do we maintain health during the vacation season and tourist trips?
Myasnikov points out that rotavirus, Norwalk virus and other viruses are afraid of soap, cleanliness and attention to personal hygiene, so hands should be washed well with soap and water. Also, vegetables, fruits and leafy vegetables should be washed well because vegetables are often a source of the spread of Norwalk virus.
He warns: “The infection remains even in the most expensive hotels, five-star and other hotels, stored in the sauces on the table, and no one ever changes them.”
According to him, water should be boiled for at least five minutes, and it is better to buy bottled mineral water for drinking. He also doubts the quality of ice in cafes and restaurants. Because he never believes that this ice is from clean, boiled water. And for your information, freezing does not kill viruses, meaning that this ice is also another source of intestinal infection.
