One thing that should be noted by tourists
here is that the Blood Bank in Bali normally
carries no stock of Rhesus (Rh) Negative
blood.
A
Short Medication Notification Travelers' diarrhea
is the most common travel-related ailment.
The cornerstone of prevention is food and
water precautions. All travelers should
bring along an antibiotic and an anti-diarrheal
drug to be started promptly if significant
diarrhea occurs, defined as three or more
loose stools in an 8-hour period or five
or more loose stools in a 24-hour period,
especially if associated with nausea, vomiting,
cramps, fever or blood in the stool. If
diarrhea is severe or bloody, or if fever
occurs with shaking chills, or if abdominal
pain becomes marked, medical attention should
be sought.
Bring adequate supplies of all medications
in their original containers, clearly labeled.
Carry a signed, dated letter from the primary
physician describing all medical conditions
and listing all medications, including generic
names. If carrying syringes or needles,
be sure to carry a physician's letter documenting
their medical necessities. If you wear glasses
or contacts, bring an extra pair.
Do's
& Don'ts
Do not drink Bali water!
Drink bottled or purified water
only and watch for ice cubes too!
Keep well hydrated to avoid Bali
Belly.
Ensure three good meals a day
and drink lots of water
Cut down on your consumption
of alcohol.
Avoid mosquito bites, as they
transmit the malaria disease.
Wear long trousers, skirts, sleeves
and socks to help discourage bites, this is especially
recommended after sunset.
Use insect repellent on
exposed skin and avoid areas of still water.
Don't forget to slip on a shirt,
slop on sun screen and slap on a hat - the Bali
sun can burn you quickly.
Ensure you are up to date with
your regular vaccinations i.e. Tetanus, Diphtheria,
Polio and Hepatitis A
Pack a mini first aid kit of
band aids, antiseptic, panadol etc.
