mindandbody  Your health and safety are the most important part of any travel experience. Here are a couple of tips regarding travelling with medicine. It is particularily important if you are arriving by boat.

Take a small first aid kit with salves, ointments, sting-eze, antiseptic washes, aspirin, bandages, and decongestant. Cuts, scrapes, scratches, and burns regularly occur on fishing and diving trips, so be prepared. Take sunscreen, and sunburn treatment for those who didn’t use the sunscreen. Take bug screen, and bug bite treatment.

When traveling to remote areas internationally, one is advised to carry the following emergency kit:

• A cycle of antibiotics
• An anti diarrhea medicine
• Domboro Otic (an ear wash) for post diving ear treatment

Sooner or later you’ll need all of them, and when you do, they’ll be difficult to come by. Your family doctor in the USA will gladly prescibe them for you for this use.
