I've heard my entire life (as most have) about bad Mexican water - Montezuma's revenge - that stuff. Is that true? Is some of the water bad.. most of it.. what?
We've got over 40 trips to Mexico. The only time we got sick there is when everyone at work was sick with the flue and I think it just caught up to us when we happened to get to Mexico.
Most of the people I see down there that get sick are about four to five days into being there. They've been drinking way to much, usually drunk every night and they're usually badly sunburned. I think their body just revolts as it should.
As for the water, I have to laugh at that. The people that order bottled water to drink in a restaurant because they don't dare drink the local water - well what do they think the glass was washed in that they poured the bottled water into and then the ice they poured the water over??? Or the plate their food is served on, or the fork they're eating off of?
These are usually the same people that are scared to drink water our of their RV holding tank and then take a shower in water from their holding tank. But yet they washed their coffee cup in soap water and then rinsed it in water from their holding tank...........
