I’m flying off to India soon to visit my sister who’s studying there. Besides the usual immunisation, are there any other health precautions I should observe while I’m there? - Cassandra, 19

Some parts of India, especially at rural or developing areas still lack basic amenities such as clean water and electricity supply, and a proper sewage system. To minimise risk of falling ill, make it a point to drink only bottled water – make sure that the seal on the cap is intact and forgo ice cubes. Eat only thoroughly cooked food and that includes vegetables as well, so avoid salads.

For the most part, an episode of diarrhoea or food poisoning can be taken care of with antibiotics but the pain and discomfort can be really inconvenient. So don’t take chances.

Have an awesome trip!
