One thing I learned from DW is you never go anywhere empty handed.
So try this, bring something you all like to drink, not water, and also bring a dish to pass that is something YOU made. It can be a side dish of Mac salad or Baked Ziti and a dessert. Cake , cookies your specialty or stop and buy some dish that you know is safe. Bring everything in disposable dishes and leave it there when you go. The dollar store is great for this.
I usually only eat what DW brings when we go places though we don't have this problem.
When you use the John make sure you wipe things down with a handi wipe before touching anything. All knobs and drawer pulls. You could bring a small can of lysol in your purse and casually just spray touchable surfaces.
When my temporary livein DD 's cat got hit buy a car I wasn't to dissapointed. Cuz she would get on the counter. So their cat may be doing the same and you may not be seeing it.
Stick some wipes in your purse. Give the kids a few individual wipes to stick in their pockets and be sure they wash their hands when they use the John. You would be surprised at the people who don't wash after using the facilities.
And if this is a stressful thing keep the visit short , an hour or two.
As a gift you might buy them a water filter for their sink.
Of course if you hold a match to the water and catches fire then a filter won't be much help.
I wish you good health,
