CDC travel guidance: food, drinking water and animal-contact precautions

CDC’s Bahamas traveler page links advice on safe food and drinks, avoiding contaminated water and staying safe around animals. Its water guidance includes not swallowing swimming water, following beach warnings and using life jackets for boating. It also advises avoiding unfamiliar animals and contact with animal waste. This is preventive travel-health guidance, not an announcement of a pig-beach outbreak or a finding that a named restaurant or resort is contaminated.
