Getting sick while traveling is one of those experiences we would all prefer not to have. Fortunately, there are things we can do to prevent it from happening. One of them is being extra careful when it comes to tap water — in some places, it’s perfectly safe to drink it, but in others, we expose ourselves to diarrhea, hepatitis A, or typhoid, among other diseases.

It’s not about becoming paranoid and only drink mineral water wherever we go, we just have to be informed about the place we’re visiting and know whether it’s safe for us to drink tap water. This infographic put together by Neomam offers a useful guide to know where to get our hydration from around the world.
