Traveler’s diarrhea. It happens to the best of us. No matter how luxurious a hotel is, or how careful one avoids the local waters, traveler’s diarrhea is often unavoidable. When traveling to a foreign country, the body necessarily comes into contact with water, food and bacteria to which it is not used.
