Bottled-water

बचाव- पीने के पानी को पीने से पहले एक मिनट तक उबाल कर पीएं। यदि बर्फ, बोतल के पानी या उबले पानी से बनी हुई न हो तो पेय पदार्थ बिना बर्फ के ही पीएं। स्वादिष्ट बर्फीले पदार्थ न खाएं जो कि प्रदूषित पानी से बने हो सकते हैं। पूरी तरह पकाए और गर्म तथा वाष्प निकलने वाले खाद्य पदार्थ ही खाएं। कच्ची ऐसी साग सब्जियां और फल न खाएं जिन्हें छीलना संभव न हो। इसके अलावा संक्रमित व्यक्तियों को घरेलू कार्यों से दूर रखें।संक्रमण को रोकने के लिए संक्रमित व्यक्ति के व्यक्तिगत उपयोग की वस्तुओं को उचित प्रकार से स्वच्छ करें। Also Read - Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis in India: Hidden TB crisis beyond lungs, symptoms, diagnosis challenges you shouldn't ignore
