Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Dehydration is bad. Typhoid is bad. And fungal infections are no fun either. But the solution doesn't have to be staying at home behind triple locks. Dirk Schroeder's slim but informative volume sets out the health risks involved in seeing the pyramids, snorkeling off Thailand, and breathing the thin air of the Andes. He tells you the warning signs, preventative as well as curative measures, and when to hightail it out of there to your doctor. Not just a worry-wart's companion, Schroeder's 200-page booklet should make it onto everyone's must-pack list. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
