1️⃣ Leafy Greens 🥬
Moist conditions make leafy vegetables like spinach, cabbage, and lettuce prone to bacterial and fungal contamination. These can cause stomach upsets and food poisoning during the rainy season.
2️⃣ Street Food 🍢
Chaat, pakoras, and roadside snacks are often prepared in open air, exposing them to rainwater splashes and unhygienic conditions. They can easily harbor harmful microbes.
3️⃣ Seafood 🐟
Monsoon is the breeding season for many fish, and water contamination levels are higher. Eating seafood during this period increases the risk of stomach infections and allergies.
4️⃣ Cut Fruits from Outside 🍉
Pre-cut fruits sold by vendors are more exposed to dust, flies, and rainwater, making them a breeding ground for bacteria and parasites.
5️⃣ Fried & Oily Foods 🍟
Though tempting, heavy fried items slow digestion during the damp season and can cause bloating, acidity, and sluggishness.
