About this title

From Library Journal

This comprehensive first-aid manual, small enough (6 x 9) to be easily carried, advises readers on how to prepare for serious health hazards that may be encountered when traveling in developing countries. Focusing on the needs of people planning extended trips or travel outside modern urban areas, it covers first-aid kits, dental remedies for emergencies, and prescription medications. The book also includes extensive food and water guides, quick reference charts to help diagnose common illnesses, maps showing areas where infectious diseases are prevalent, and a list of Travel Clinics in the United States and Canada. A valuable addition to collections where patrons travel.
