Malaria
and Dengue
fever can be a problem in some areas. However, with caution,
they can easily be avoided. Please consult your doctor for
anti malarial medication. There is no protection against dengue
fever. We suggest that you take the following action in addition
to taking anti malarial prophylactics. Don't forget, the best
prevention is not to get bitten.
- Sleep with a mosquito net outside built up areas
- Wear long sleeves and trousers around dusk
- Use plenty of strong insect repellant - some brands can
be applied directly on clothing.
