| Brief Description: | The Rough Guide to Travel Health tells you everything you need to know about staying healthy on your trip in three clear sections. Pre-trip planning includes advice on immunizations, what to take, jet lag, and tips for travelers with specific needs. You'll also find safety tips for active travel (skiing, scuba diving and climbing) and a complete section on first aid. The A-Z of health problems section includes the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment including homeopathic and alternative remedies. The third section contains a complete country-by-country lowdown on health risks worldwide, and an international directory of travel rescources, clinics and websites. There are also sidebars with tables, anecdotes from the field, and the history of some of the diseases that have plagued travelers for years. |
