Wash hands properly (with soap) after using the toilet and before preparing food.
Ensure all foods are properly cooked.
Ensure there is no cross contamination when handling, serving and storing food items. That means that you shouldn't allow raw meat, or surfaces it has touched, to be in contact with cooked food. Wash your hands and clean kitchen surfaces after handling raw meat.
Boil well water for 3-5 minutes to make it safe for drinking.
Chlorinate your well.
They say that city water is safe for drinking.
If you do get diarrhea, please see your doctor immediately if you show signs of dehydration: dry mouth, sunken eyes, decreased production of urine, or lethargy; if you have profuse, explosive, watery diarrhea or pass blood; or if you have vomitting and aren't able to keep any fluids down.
See my previous post on managing diarrhea.
