Travellers
Health
Go
to www.cdc.gov and look under travelers
health for a complete list of shots, etc you will need for the
country you are going
to.
Please note that some shots have to be
done in a series with a wait time in
between. Plan ahead...
Drinking water and food
It is a good idea when traveling to foreign
countries to use precaution when drinking the local water. In
third world countries(Mexico, all thru the Caribbean, central
and South America, etc) only drink bottled water. Although many
vacation resorts in these areas now have water purification systems,
it is a good idea to use caution when drinking water and eating
food that has been washed in water , such as lettuce. Do not
eat the peel of fruits such as apples, pears or baked potatoes,
etc. These are washed in the local water.
It is a good idea to avoid ice cubes
in areas that do not have water purification. Also brush your
teeth with bottled water in these areas.
Always travel with Imodium AD. This helps
relieve the symptoms of traveler's diarrhea, if it should
occur.
It is important to have Travel insurance
when traveling. This insurance will cover
you for medical and medical evacuation if you are hurt or ill.
