Stay Healthy on Vacation in the Caribbean
Whether you’ve planned a trip to Cayman, Jamaica, St. Marten’s, or another spot in the Caribbean, there are things to think about before you go. This video gives you a short overview of the things you should think about before you get on the plane or boat.
One thing that stuck out is the fact that Hepatitis A is the top infectious disease you can catch on vacation. What? Luckily, they make a vaccine for that. Other oogy diseases? Typhoid fever (yikes) and Traveler’s Diarrhea (ew).
Where are you most likely to catch these ailments? In the “sun destinations.” That’s so unfair! It’s beautiful, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and there you are, possibly catching malaria.
Make sure you get your vaccinations, and also a script for antibiotics to take with you. That’s very important, as many “sun destinations” don’t have them in ready supply. Protect yourself against mosquitoes and sunburn, and don’t become enemies with any really angry armed people. That last part is from i how to videos to you – they don’t include that in the video.
