Planning a trip? Stay safe and well with these essential tips..
Food & Water Safety
Eat only food that’s cooked and served hot. Stick to bottled or boiled water—even for brushing your teeth. Avoid ice, raw produce, and unpasteurized dairy.
Sun Protection
Use sunscreen (SPF 15–30+), reapply often, and stay shaded during peak sun. Wear a hat and stay hydrated.
Safe Sex
Always practice safe sex. Carry condoms and be aware of risks like hepatitis B and HIV.
Flight Tips
Drink water (avoid fizzy or alcoholic drinks), wear compression socks, and move regularly to boost circulation.
Medications
Bring enough of your routine medications and pack them in your carry-on.
General Safety
Be cautious with alcohol, don’t leave drinks unattended, and avoid risky activities like tattoos or accepting packages.
Documents & Insurance
Make sure your vaccines are up-to-date and your insurance covers health needs and travel activities.
Malaria Prevention
Use insect repellent with at least 30% DEET and protect yourself from dusk to dawn. Know the signs of malaria—no method is 100% protective.
