Street foods like pani puri, bhel puri, sandwiches and
pakoras may seem very tempting during this season
but they contain bacteria that may cause
indigestion.
 Also, don’t drink water from outside. Most of the
water-borne diseases like dysentery, cholera, etc are
caused due to impure water. Street golas, juices and
kulfi should be avoided during the monsoons.
