Having tasted unwashed fruits, there is a high risk of getting hepatitis.

“Eat” with your eyes

In summer, it’s time for delicious fruits, berries, vegetables that you can eat literally from the garden. No need to cook, clean, cook for long hours in the oven. For most Russians, this is the happiest time. However, it also risks becoming a period of endless health problems.

Especially for those who like to buy fruits and taste them. What if they are deceived?

Marina Ladytskina, a hepatologist, strongly recommends such citizens to put an end to the bad habit.

– Having tasted unwashed fruits or berries in the market, a person is at great risk to health. In response to such behavior, he may develop diarrhea, begin to “host” E. coli, but sometimes more serious diseases occur. One of them is hepatitis A, which is easy to pick up from the surface of your favorite fruits, the doctor warns.

Therefore, the hepatologist recommends that all lovers of juicy and tasty fruits eat them on the market with their eyes, that is, just carefully examine them.

Safety

To avoid infection, the doctor always advises washing fruits bought on the market thoroughly with soap and water before eating them. Especially if you are in hot foreign countries (Turkey, Mexico, Egypt, etc.).

For such cases, there is no much cleanliness, as well as excessive precautions, the doctor reminded.

She also emphasized that the hepatitis A virus is very resistant to soap and even boiling. Therefore, in unfamiliar places and having bought fruits from unfamiliar sellers, it is better not only to wash the fruits, but also to remove the skin from them. So you will not give a dangerous virus a chance to get into your body and ruin your vacation.

By the way, shaking hands can also be a source of health problems. Therefore, do not forget always and everywhere to follow the recommendation of your beloved mother and doctor – “wash your hands with soap as often as possible.” And be healthy!
