From what I gather, it does seem pretty safe down there bacterial wise. You don't see many complaints across the forums of these things- but it's just something to be considered when traveling, as always :) Yikes, that botfly sounds nasty. I will look into it more. Thanks for the tips :) Much Appreciated! That’s good news, Erin. From what I gather, it does seem pretty safe down there bacterial wise.

And trust me, we really eat when I am there...maybe all the Belikin beer helps! LOL. But Mexico, I've been sick numerous times, but Belize no. Especially if you are at a resort on Ambergris Caye, you should be fine. What I would do some research on if you plan to do any excursions in the heart of the jungle is the botfly (parasite from mosquito bites). I got bit by one my first year there and misdiagnosed for 2 months back in the US. You have a better chance of winning the lottery versus getting that but leave it to me! LOL. It is not harmful to you, it just uses you as a host. Still disgusting, nevertheless. Mosquito bites are my biggest problem overall every year. If you happen to run into problems there, buy Itch-A-Way Hemp Seed oil...it's the best thing ever! Helps the itching but also decreases the scarring.
