Prevention: Always wash hands after using the toilet and before eating or preparing food or drink. Avoid drinking from unknown sources, such as streams and outdoor wells, without boiling the water first. Use only clean utensils for eating or handling foods, especially when handling eggs and poultry. Cook food completely and properly. Store food appropriately in coolers.
