Heed Medical Advice Immediately If You Feel Unwell
Strategies for Preventing Intestinal Infections Over the Holidays, shared by the Russians
Ever heard of summertime tummy troubles? They're a pesky problem during holidays, according to the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing. Yes, that's right, influenza isn't the only May holiday threat. Gastrointestinal infections can be just as wicked. Keep this in mind as you chow down on those barbecue treats with friends and family.
Here's what to watch out for:
- Steer clear of buffet-style salads, pastry temptations, and surprises like aspics. Keep it simple, keep it cooked.
- Forget about blending yesterday's leftovers with fresh food – it's a no-no.
- Anything perishable needs to be noshed on or stowed in the icebox right away or for no longer than a dozen hours. Nothing lasts forever, remember?
- That little sticker on your goods isn't just for show – pay heed to product expiration dates and keep your groceries as the fridge manufacturers intended. And don't forget to rinse those fruits and veggies!
- Slap on an apron, grab your trusty spatula, cook the heck out of your meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood until they're finger-lickin' done. It's not the time to wing it.
- When shopping, steer clear of vendors with questionable origins or unregulated markets. You can't trust everything, you know?
- If you've got ready-to-eat eats, put 'em in a separate placed from raw, wriggling ingredients. Nobody needs an unexpected meeting of the minds.
- Don't even think about munching on products with passed-expiration dates or those lounging outside the fridge. That's just gross.
- Wash 'em up! Personal hygiene is your bestie during hangouts and gatherings. Just remember to tip back that beer before you extend a hand for a shake, Cap'n!
Don't forget, if you feel ill during your summer festivities, seek medical help pronto. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Speaking of food, do you know what half of Russians deem as the most mouthwatering snack? Pork skewers! Now, that's something we can all agree on, even the gastro-grumps!
