Drinking water

[Noel Bleakney 10]

Just a quick question. When you are in Mexico do you drink their Water?

I did and had no problems in Mexicali. I might not in other places, though.

I was provided bottled Water and drank that. Better to be safe than sorry I say!

Only drink bottled Water. My surgeon, coordinator, and driver all pressed that.

Hello!

It was explained to us by friends who live in Mazatlan full time: The Water source and water that comes from it are usually just as clean as in the U.S., it's after the the water gets in the water system that the buggies get into the water you may drink. Cracked water delivery pipes that allow germs in appear to be a big problem. We always drank bottled water including from those big 5 gallon bottles of Hibiscus, limon (lime) etc you can buy for the home or can get by the cup at the mercado. Ice was also not a problem for us and many of the people selling drinks advertised they had used bottled water for their ice. Fresh squeezed juice was delightful as well as smoothies. You can watch the Market sellers peel the fruit as they are making it. If you are worried, we were told to bring pepto bismol and take it 5 times a day to fend off gastrointesitinal organisms.

I didn't have my surgery in Mexico but I would carry a couple of bottle with me just in case they don't have Water in bottles.. I really wouldn't trust Mexican water.

In the hospital they give you bottled Water, and i believe that once they cook or boil the Water for tea and Soup, the organisms are cooked off! I had no problem and neither did my mom who had coffee everyday from the hospital cafeteria!

Had my surgery on the 7th in Tijuana with Dr. Kelly. The hotel provided bottled Water. The restaurant provided bottled water also. Went to have the leak test and vomited afterward. I went to the restroom to wash my face and rinse my mouth, Trish told me do NOT rinse my mouth with the water from the sink. At the Oasis Hospital, they brought me ice chips after my surgery and I sipped the water after it melted with no problems.
