5 Security

Traveling around the world always involves some risk to your health. However, by taking a few simple precautions, and using your common sense, you can minimize the risk of illness, accident, loss, or injury.

A ………

Always wash your hands before you eat. Try to eat only food that you know is freshly cooked. Don’t eat food that has been kept warm. Avoid uncooked food like salads, and eat only fruit that you can peel. Be careful about fish and shellfish – in some countries they can be a health risk.

B ………

Don’t drink tap water unless you know it is safe. Use bottled water for drinking, washing food, and cleaning your teeth. If you can’t get bottled water, boil the water before you drink it, or use purifying tablets, avoid ice unless you it is made from purified water.

C ………

Always check local driving laws. If you are in a car, always wear a seatbelt. If you are on a bicycle or a motorbike, wear a helmet. If you hire a car or bike, check that it’s safe and that it has insurance. Never drink and drive. If you have an accident, tell the police as soon as possible.

D ………

Take care not to get sunburnt. Wear a hat, sunglasses, and use sun cream with a high skin protection (25+) on exposed parts of your body. Drink plenty of liquids, particularly at the hottest time of the day. Keep young children and babies out of direct sunlight.

E ………

Don’t go swimming alone, especially in very cold water. Adults should watch each other for signs of trouble. Children should always be supervised by an adult who can swim well. Check with local people for information about dangers such as strong currents.

F ………

If you are doing a dangerous sport like skiing, mountaineering, or diving, make sure you follow the safety procedures. Check that there are medical facilities available. You must get insurance which will pay for your medical expenses if you have an accident. Divers should wait 24 hours after their last dive before getting on a plane.

G ………

Avoid insect bites, particularly mosquito bites, as mosquitoes carry malaria and other dangerous diseases. Keep your arms and legs covered after sunset, and use an insect repellent. Sleep in a room with screens on the windows, and use a mosquito net around the bed at night.

H ………

If you are a woman, wear what local women are wearing. Wearing a wedding ring is a good way to avoid unwanted attention from men. Don’t walk alone at night, especially in dark or empty streets, and avoid going to bars alone. Don’t tell people where you are staying and always lock your door at night. Never accept lifts from strangers.

I ………

Don’t carry amounts of cash, and keep your money and credit cards in an inside pocket. Carry your bags carefully, and watch them all the time, especially in crowded places. Leave your valuables in the hotel safe, and get a receipt for them. Make a photocopy of your passport, and make a note of your credit card numbers, if you are robbed, always tell the police.
