Wash and thoroughly dry your hands frequently - always before eating & avoid touching your mouth with your hands. Never eat food that is being kept in a warmer, eg at buffets. Clean hands and freshly cooked food are sure ways to avoid food poisoning. And you know if you've got it - it's utter agony. (BTW this info was reinforced by a Radio National Health Report - I wasn't aware of the importance of thoroughly drying hands, tho). Yakult & red fanta etc can't hurt.
