How to Avoid Poisoning at the Countryside: Therapist Lists Simple Rules
People who spend almost the entire summer at their summer cottages can often forget about simple safety rules. The result is poisoning.
Therapist Oksana Drapkina told how to avoid problems, writes kp.ru.
The specialist noted that people forget to boil water from a well or eat berries straight from the garden, pick fruit from trees and eat the fruit right away. Some people think: if chemicals were not used during cultivation, then there is no need to wash, noting that "it tastes better this way." This is a big mistake that can lead to a host of serious health problems.
However, insects that come into contact with fruits can carry various dangerous infections.
Therefore, it is very important to wash berries and fruits before eating.
In addition, you should wash your hands thoroughly with soap. You should not drink cold and fresh water from the well right away. It should be boiled to reduce all possible risks of infection. It is even better to choose bottled water.
The professor added that raw foods should be kept away from those that are ready to eat.
Fish that was caught in the river must be thoroughly fried.
Drapkina also noted that you shouldn’t buy already cut fruits and vegetables at the market or in the store.
The doctor added that it is necessary to have a small refrigerator for perishable products to avoid poisoning.
