What are the risks of getting sick before traveling abroad?

With the increasing pressure and diversified lifestyles, more and more people choose to travel during holidays. Some people choose to travel in China or have an outing nearby, but more people choose to travel abroad on a long vacation. First of all, there may be many scenic spots in China that people have already visited; Secondly, the natural scenery and customs of different countries have attracted the attention of these people; Third, it may also be because with the intensification of competition, the cost of outbound travel is decreasing. However, if outbound travel is not fully prepared, it may also lead to various dangers, such as personal safety and various diseases. Therefore, before leaving the country, you should know about related diseases and take precautions. Today we will look at the diseases of outbound travel.

Diarrhea is the first disease of outbound travel. In fact, this exists not only in outbound travel, but also in large and small trips. Why do you often have diarrhea during travel? When we are away from home, we can't guarantee the absolute safety of the food we eat, such as drinking water and the hygiene of restaurants. In addition, the climatic conditions in different places are different, and the reason for many people's diarrhea is that they catch cold from the wind and cause gastrointestinal diseases; Of course, there are also some people who are not acclimatized. The common pathogens of diarrhea in outbound travel are Escherichia coli, salmonella and other bacteria, and of course some viruses such as rotavirus. In order to prevent these, we usually suggest to prepare some antibiotics before going out, just in case.

Secondly, the disease we want to talk about is malaria. This is a mosquito-borne disease, which is highly contagious. There are many factors that affect malaria, such as climate factors and sanitary conditions in tourist destinations. Sometimes, you see that the local conditions are very good, but you will also meet mosquitoes carrying plasmodium. When bitten by mosquitoes, you will be infected with malaria. Therefore, there are many uncertainties in the journey, and we can't take it lightly at any time. If a person has malaria, he will have fever, headache and vomiting. Early malaria is often neglected, which makes the disease worse and difficult to treat.

If you plan to travel to tropical areas, there will still be some easily overlooked diseases, such as dengue fever, African trypanosomiasis and so on. Therefore, it is recommended to make all kinds of preparations before traveling abroad. You can go to the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention to learn about the local epidemic situation, get a good vaccine in advance before departure, and carry the necessary disease drugs with you during the trip. May you have a healthy and happy travel experience.
