Solution

Clean food and water:

  1. Before eating raw and cooking, fruits and vegetables should be washed in clean water to make them free from germs and pesticides (chemicals sprayed on plants to keep them insect free)
  2. Water used for drinking, cooking, bathing, and washing utensils should be clean.
