Staying Healthy

Thinking of international travel? Here are some tips on staying healthy.

  • Get the recommended vaccines well before departure.
  • Take a kit with medicines for common problems: diarrhea, colds, motion sickness, upset stomach, cuts, scrapes, bug bites, pain, sunburn, etc.
  • Drink only boiled or bottled water or carbonated drinks from sources you trust. Avoid tap water, fountain drinks, and ice cubes. Wipe off the cans and bottles before drinking.
  • Use bottled water to brush your teeth.
  • Don’t swim in stagnant or polluted water or after a heavy rainfall. Use googles and nose/ear plugs. Shower afterwards. Wash cuts with clean water and soap.
  • Eat only fully cooked food or fruits and vegetables you have peeled. Remember: boil it, cook it, peel it, or forget it!
  • Don’t buy food or drinks from street vendors.
  • If visiting an area where there is risk for malaria, take malaria prevention medication before, during, and after your trip, as directed.
  • Use insect repellent with DEET to prevent mosquito and tick bites.
  • Wash your hands frequently with with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub, especially before eating.

Check your medical coverage. Most private insurers and Medicare don’t cover costs outside the United States. Consider TRAVEL INSURANCE!
