Thats a interesting myth about Moctezuma's revenge..They tell the rest of us not to drink the water in Mexico. You don't do that do you?
funfact, you can get the "moctezuma's revenge" everywhere.
Its not the water per se.
But the viruses and bacteria you find it floating in the air as you visit.
Also, it depends the definition of "drinking water". In Mexico, drinking water is via bottle or via personal purifier. The tap water is drinkable but id say the majority of Mexicans never drink from the tap.
And I know the culture of US americans is to drink right straight from the tap (all my cousins that are USA born do that).
Most contamination.. like I said, is not from the water.
Let's just say that we have a completely different "zoo" floating around than the one in the US. and each one of us are immune to our own zoos.. so we switch places.. we will get tanked until our defences normalize themselves.
But yeah, the food culture isn't very strong in most latin america. If you eat in the street.. be ready to get infected if you dont select a clean stand.
