Indigenous communities often have unique dietary traditions, such as gathering wild vegetables and preparing traditional homemade foods. To enhance awareness of protection against poisonous plants and animals while also promoting food safety and hygiene, it is recommended to use visual educational materials, such as infographics and quick-reference guides, to educate tribal residents and hikers about the “5 Dos and 2 Don’ts” principles for preventing food poisoning, including:
✅ Do wash your hands.
✅ Do choose fresh foods.
✅ Do keep raw and cooked foods separate.
✅ Do cook foods thoroughly.
✅ Do pay attention to proper food storage temperatures.
❌ Do not drink untreated spring or mountain water.
❌ Do not pick, eat, give away, or accept unknown plants or animals.
These measures can help reduce the risk of food poisoning, prevent accidental exposure to toxic plants and animals, and promote safer outdoor and community food practices.
