Travellers’ Health: A Complete Guide To The Hazards Of Travel

International travel now takes place on an unprecedented scale, and distant places are increasingly accessible to everyone.

The health risks receive little attention, but have not diminished, and too many people leave home ill-prepared, ignorant even of simple precautions that make a crucial difference. Staying healthy abroad is not a matter of chance; a vaccination or two and a handful of pills are not enough, and reliable help can’t always be found. This is an important new book for all people who travel and for those who advise them.
