Understand that street food vendors do not necessary have the same standard of hygiene as sit-down restaurants and cafés. Food that has been handled carelessly can carry bacteria, Hepatitis virus and other things that can upset your stomach and possibly even develop into something worse. You should be careful with food that has been sitting around for a long time.

Also, if the food is eaten by hand, make sure you've washed them.
