Many an overseas traveler has had a rumbling stomach and abdominal cramps, two common warning signs of traveler’s diarrhea. This pesky and often dangerous menace can spoil a vacation as fast as its symptoms can creep up on you.

- Wash fruit and veggies to be eaten raw in bottled water.
- Brush teeth with bottled water.
- Keep your hands clean. Wash them well and often.
