Educate yourself with these Helpful Hints on outsmarting food poisoning:

  • Ice can pick up germs if made with dirty water or made in an unclean ice-maker; ice is often overlooked as a suspect of a stomach bug, but can often be the culprit; be sure to keep your own stash of ice for drinking purposes separated in a clean plastic bag
  • Fresh salsa or guacamole can often contain raw ingredients that may carry a bug due to unsanitary handling; spike your salsa or guacamole with fresh lime juice and garlic which will kill the germs
