Many an enthusiastic traveller may find the joys and expectations he is looking forward to dampened by so many precautionary measures and warnings. However, it is better to be sensible and take precautions, because being forewarned one can guard against any perilous circumstances to which one might otherwise fall victim. Among my closest friends I can count many who have had to pay dearly for their inexperience and ignorance of the hidden dangers awaiting the innocent traveller in the tropics, especially in recent years. Others, who have been obliged to live in the tropics for extended periods, have returned home with serious diseases or have died prematurely.

The precautionary measures mentioned in this section are not meant to spoil your expectations and joys of travelling; rather, they should serve as warnings and guidelines to help you to be adequately prepared before undertaking a trip. Preparation does

not mean cumbersome equipment added to the weight of your already heavy baggage. In fact, it is only a question of some valuable advice upon which you can draw when the need arises. The old adage ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ is of special importance to the traveller in the tropics. For further hints and suggestions on this topic see my book Health Guide Through Southern Countries, Subtropics, Tropics, and Desert Zones.
