A mosquito can be deadly in Africa. They spread diseases, such as malaria, dengue and Zika. Mosquitoes make around 3 million casualties each year. The malaria mosquito is only active in the evenings and at night, the dengue mosquito mostly during the day. Protect yourself by always sleeping under a\u00a0mosquito net<\/a>, using\u00a0Anti-Insect DEET<\/a>\u00a0and wearing\u00a0insect repellent socks<\/a>. Have you been bitten? Use a\u00a0venom extractor<\/a>\u00a0for removing the venom. This prevents the poison from spreading through the body.

This makes the krait one of the snakes that cause the most casualties in Asia. The king cobra can be found in Thailand and hides in tall grass and dark holes. Because it is difficult to tell the difference between venomous and non-venomous snakes, it’s best to stay away from them.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″

Asia is divided into four regions where different vaccinations are recommended.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A few countries require you to arrange a visa before travelling: China, India and Myanmar. For many other countries, you will receive a visa on arrival that is valid temporarily. Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines are some examples. And for other countries, you won’t require a visa at all. Check whether you will need a visa before you travel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In many parts of Asia, tap water is not suitable for drinking. Drinking bottled water is recommended.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Many different languages are spoken in Asia and many countries have more than one official language. The most notable (world) languages spoken in Asia are Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese and Russian. In some parts, you will be able to manage in English, and in some countries, including India, the Phillippines and Singapore, it is the official language.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Safe travels in Asia Asia is the largest continent in the world.
