are you sure helicobacter was in water? it could have been in food as well...
and it could have been in the dish you prepared...or any restaurant in your town:P
moreover.it;s enough if you don;t wash hands before eating:P
It could have been in your stool too, so stop drinking from the toilet. WTF are you talking about, no one really knows. Transmission isn't clearly understood, and prevention guidelines aren't available precisely for that reason. Scientists suspect that H. pylori infection may be contagious because the infection seems to run in families and is more common where people live in crowded or unsanitary conditions, so you might as well recommend him not to be so cheap and spending some money on a better class hotel next time he goes abroad, where the sanitary conditions are semi descent and overcrowding not a problem. The only valid point you have is washing up, research suggests that infection is passed from person to person; exactly how this happens isn't really known. All this really tells us that most likely he is dirty and he dose not practice personal hygiene. Personal hygiene would have gone a long way in preventing his predicament if it was only practiced by him instead of ******** and moaning and blaming Poland for his condition. Abstract idea like a country can’t make you sick only you can, get it now. When you sleep around with someone who has STD and you get HIV, syphilis what have you, it’s not the country the hooker is from or the hooker herself that’s at fault;
it’s you, buy a condom or keep your prick in your pants if you don’t know what other prick might have been there ahead of you. It’s common sense really. Instead of blaming everyone for everything start using your brain once in a while, but of course in your opinion it's entire world that's out to get poor innocent American tourist simply because he's American. If you get a disease that’s most likely related to the poor personal hygiene, well then it can’t be you that’s dirty it has to be the country you ware visiting. Guess what, millions of other people live in that country and they don’t have your problem, why do you suppose that is? Unlike you perhaps they wash up.
