It's the luck of the draw, really

I've never been sick with BB in 7 or 8 trips, and I've never used red cordial, yakult, or any of the other suggested preventatives.

I do use dettol (or other brand) hand sanitiser before most meals, particularly if I've been handling money, but I do forget sometimes.

I brush my teeth with bottled water - and I try not to swallow water in the shower, but that's rarely successful.

I do eat salads, drink juices and have ice in my drinks. I often eat at smaller warungs and never had a problem.

I've known of couples who ate at the same places - even the same meal - and only one has gotten sick. So it just comes down to luck a lot of the time, I think.
