For sure it’s a problem. I definitely don’t think it’s all bad, it’s def an issue and it’s sometimes just good advice. I guess I’ve just had a lot of convos with reactionary Texans that use it as an excuse to point out something “inferior” about Latin America to feed their unearned nationalist ego, so I probably have a skewed perspective.
But definitely I’ve been to countries where we used bottled water for pretty much everything and locals cautioned us
Also sorry you had to go through that comrade sounds rough af. Glad you recovered well
Oh I can agree that using it as an excuse to consider some countries lesser is straight up garbage. Your experience with reactionaries sounds infuriating so I can see where you're coming from.
While I was in XXX I had locals advise me not even to trust the bottled water and to only stick with beer since it's been guaranteed to be boiled lol.
Although in all honesty I don't think I ever fully recovered and it was years ago. I've had a lot of dietary issues ever since I got back that have never gone away. Like, food allergies that only came about directly afterwards. It's nuts.
