A headache, upset stomach, nausea, etc. is sometimes simply your body\u2019s way of adjusting to a new environment. In Peru, just like any other country, there are a number of factors that could cause sickness while traveling, including altitude and food poisoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the following are some handy tips to help you feel better or avoid getting sick altogether while traveling in Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.\t<strong>Drink water from a trusted source<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.enigmaperu.com\/assets\/img\/article_456_6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enigmaperu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Fight-being-sick-in-Peru2.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While traveling in Peru, we recommend that you drink only bottled, boiled or treated drinking water. Since your body may not be accustomed to the country\u2019s bacteria, drinking water from the tap could make you feel sick. We would even recommend that you brush your teeth using bottled water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In upscale restaurants and hotels, drinking the water should not be an issue since they would serve purified water, ice cubes made with purified water as well as use purified water to wash all fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.\t<strong>Your symptoms could indicate soroche<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traveling to the Andes Mountains of Peru may cause symptoms of altitude sickness, or soroche. Some common symptoms of soroche include dizziness, shortness of breath, headaches, nausea, upset stomach, and loss of appetite. Altitude experiences vary. Before traveling to high altitudes, eat lightly and avoid heavy foods while acclimatizing to avoid altitude sickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may also drink coca tea or chew coca leaves. Coca has been used for centuries by Andean people to combat the effects of altitude sickness. The mild stimulant coca leaf, chewed or brewed as tea, reduces hunger, thirst, pain, and fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.\t<strong>Be careful with street food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.enigmaperu.com\/assets\/img\/article_456_11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enigmaperu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Fight-being-sick-in-Peru4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-549\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Peru, you may be tempted to order from a street vendor for a \u201cauthentic\u201d experience. Enigma doesn&#8217;t recommend street food unless you&#8217;re with a chef or tour guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s hard to know how a dish was made, what ingredients were used, and how clean it is. Same goes for small markets with lots of ceviche and seafood. Ceviche, a popular seafood dish made with far fish, can cause food poisoning if the fish is not fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Wash your hands frequently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When traveling in Peru, especially in rural areas, you will likely find that the basics, such as toilet paper and soap, are often not provided in public restrooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> For that reason, it is recommended that you always carry some tissue with you and some hand sanitizing lotion or spray. Moreover, remember that bacteria can be easily transferred by money and other objects, so wash your hands whenever you have the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.\t<strong>Consider an herbal remedy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.enigmaperu.com\/assets\/img\/article_456_12.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.enigmaperu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Fight-being-sick-in-Peru3.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides coca, there is another herbal remedy that you can use when feeling under the weather in Peru; mu\u00f1a! Mu\u00f1a is an herb that grows in the cold highlands of Peru and has a pleasant minty smell. Mu\u00f1a\u00b4s main benefit is digestive, meaning that it can help to sooth stomach spasms, indigestion, diarrhea, colic and other gastric issues. Mu\u00f1a makes a really pleasant tea and can complement coca tea when treating the symptoms of altitude sickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody wants to get sick while on vacation, but sometimes we can\u2019t control the time or place that illness occurs. We hope these tips have been helpful, but if you do start to feel sick while traveling with Enigma, we\u2019ll do everything in our power to make sure you\u2019re back on your feet as soon as possible!
