• If you visit an area where there is a risk for malaria, take your malaria prevention medication before, during and after travel as directed.
• Avoid dairy products unless you know they have been pasteurized.
• Don’t swim in fresh water.  Salt water is usually safer.

• Unless you are staying in air-conditioned or well-screened housing, purchase a bed net impregnated with the insecticide permethrinor deltamethrin.  Or, spray the bed net with one of these insecticides if you are unable to find a pretreated bed net.
• To prevent fungal and parasitic infections, keep feet clean and dry and do not go bare foot .  (Thongs are a must).

• DO not accept lifts from strangers and never ‘hitchhike’
• When in a car, keep doors locked and windows only partially open
• Do not offer lifts to strangers
