What are some of the safety precautions?
Don’t travel alone, especially if you are a girl. Don’t wonder off into the jungle. Don’t have unprotected sex with locals (even in the big city). Don’t get drunk unless you have a SOBER friend you can trust with you at all times. Have plenty of mosquito repellant and use it liberally. Everyone should sleep under mosquito net ALWAYS evenings and at night. Don’t drink the water. Make sure it is bottled or at least boiled. (TRUST ME — YOU WILL GET SICK IF YOU DRINK BAD WATER!) Some may get diarrhea for a few days as the internal bacteria needs to get adjusted. Nothing to worry about, this is natural. If diarrhea lasts more than a week -we need to take to hospital.
