Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Yes this is one of my favorite articles I have done too. A lot of helpful information I made sure to include. Yes, nowhere is perfect, that is for sure; but by no means at all am I surprised when you agree that Latin America is much worse than Asia in general. Sorry you got so ill in Bolivia that you had to go to the hospital! Yikes. I too have learned the hard way, but with over 11 years of travel experience i mostly third world countries I've gotten really smart about what I choose to ingest. Thanks again for your wonderful comments! -Dan
