What are the health risks for Americans traveling to Colombia?

Q: I am traveling to Colombia in a week and didn't realize that I should have gotten vaccinated. I will stick to bottled water but what else should I be concerned about? Also are you allowed to bring packaged snacks into the country?

A: You do not need to take packaged snacks...you can buy perfectly good packaged snacks there. Avoid street vendor food. Eating in good restaurants and hotels is fine. Unless you are going to be in remote jungle areas, you will be just fine.
