How can I prevent enteritis?

Infectious enteritis, the most common kind, is also the most preventable. If you’ve had your share of stomach bugs for one lifetime, then you can help prevent getting it and spreading it to others with safe hygiene practices.

• Wash your hands with soap and water after visiting the bathroom and before contact with food.
• Wash kitchen tools and surfaces that have been in contact with raw meats or produce.
• Cook meats and shellfish thoroughly.
• Keep cold food cold and hot food hot.
• Use bottled water when traveling to foreign countries.
• If you’re sick, stay home until 48 hours after symptoms are gone.
