However, one should not forget the other side of the coin. Continents and countries are a bright kaleidoscope of impressions, climate, air, food, unfamiliar infections – stress for the body and a great, sometimes deadly danger. So a tourist who goes on an exotic trip is at greater risk than a homebody who is content to enjoy impressive views from a TV screen.
The increasing opportunities to visit different countries, the opening of new tourist routes, make travel an accessible form of recreation, and many people go on vacation to various places abroad, bringing back diseases as 'souvenirs'. Malaria, cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever, hepatitis, giardiasis, pediculosis – this is not a complete list of possible diseases.
Before leaving for countries where malaria can be contracted, it is recommended to take the prophylactic drug Quinidine. To avoid contracting cholera, dysentery, and other oral infections, you should thoroughly wash your hands, treat vegetables and fruits, not eat food of suspicious appearance and smell, avoid drinks with ice, as ice cubes are most often made from unboiled water.
If upon returning home you find an exotic free 'souvenir' in your hair – lice, then there is no need to panic. After all, removing lice can now be done within one hour at home, using the AntiV method. The special AntiV comb removes lice along with nits mechanically. This is effective and harmless. There is no need to use chemical preparations that damage hair, scalp, and cause allergies. The comb is made of medical steel, and the teeth are located so close to each other that not a single hair will be missed and not a single nit will remain on the hair. The tips of the comb's teeth are rounded, so they do not damage hair and scalp.
Before traveling abroad, it is better to find out in advance what health risks you may encounter during the trip. After all, no one has canceled the rule: forewarned is forearmed.
