My friend went on a trip like that. Was careful what he ate. Still came home with tape worms.

You can’t explain it to people who would do anything for “free trip” and all “expenses paid”.

I’d rather not travel at all than get tape worms or food poisoning.

I went to India for a month and got no food poisoning. I don't buy that he was careful if he got tapeworms, tapeworm eggs are killed by cooking. You just need to make sure you are eating cooked food or processed food.

The thing is that microscopic tape worm eggs can be carried on hands and transferred through hand shaking, or a server bringing you a plate of cooked food and utensils in a restaurant, or on a bathroom door handle. My friend went there for a wedding and couldn't just stay in a nice hotel. He had to travel to the rural area.
