Infectious diseases lurk in subtropical and tropical regions.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Good personal hygiene is your best weapon in the fight against bacteria.<\/li>\n
  2. Do not drink tap water.<\/li>\n
  3. Do not touch animals. Dogs, cats, bats and monkeys can be infected with rabies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Wash your hands<\/h3>\n

    Vaccinations provide good protection, but not from all infectious diseases.\u00a0Good personal hygiene is your best weapon in the fight against bacteria! This starts with washing your hands. Do this often and thoroughly. In any case, wash your hands and wrists before cooking, eating and after visiting the toilet. Dirty nails? Clean them with a brush! Dry your hands with something very clean, like a paper towel. Or keep them under hot air blower (do not touch!)<\/p>\n

    Effective for cleaning your hands: a good hand gel, like Care Plus\u00a0Pro Hygiene Gel<\/a>. Handy for on the road, because Pro Hygiene Gel can be used without water.<\/p>\n

    Safe drinking water<\/h3>\n

    Drinking tap water in Western Europe and North America is not usually a problem. In other regions, you need to take precautionary measures to\u00a0make drinking water safe<\/a>. Water can be contaminated. Microorganisms can cause infectious diseases, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Diarrhoea is the most common problems.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SjLK3x6dkmQ” _builder_version=”4.16″ border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tips” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    There are several methods to make drinking water safe:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Disinfecting with\u00a0Care Plus Hadex<\/a>\u00ae<\/sup>, a drinking water disinfectant approved by the Dutch government (kills bacteria and viruses).<\/li>\n
    2. Microfiltration (removes protozoa and bacteria, depending on the filter).<\/li>\n
    3. Boiling the water (kills all microorganisms)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
