What dangers are hidden in cocktails with ice: advice for vacationers
While on holiday, you can easily catch a rotavirus infection, and for this you don’t necessarily have to visit a clinic or crowded places.
Cocktails and drinks with ice pose a hidden health hazard.
In an interview with the publication “ Moscow 24 ”, Ekaterina Krasilnikova, Head of the Center for Infectious Diseases of the Central Clinical Hospital of the Presidential Property Management Department of the Russian Federation, spoke about how not to ruin your vacation with treatment.
Firstly, the doctor does not recommend eating in places whose reputation raises certain doubts.
Secondly, you should avoid drinking juices, cocktails and other drinks that contain ice.
It's not just the low temperature, but the fact that the ice may have been made from unboiled water, which increases the risk of infection.
Thirdly, rotavirus is transmitted through food that an infected person has handled.
That's why you shouldn't eat where food is prepared in questionable conditions and not processed properly.
Infectious disease doctors also advise stocking up on anti-poisoning medications before going to a resort, and also making sure that the rooms are cleaned according to schedule and properly.
