When we plan a trip, first of all choose the best swimsuit if we are going to warm countries, or enthusiastically looking for entertainment closer to the hotel. However, any fees on the road, especially when your journey lasts more than a week, it is worth starting from picking a first-aid kit. Many neglect by this rule, and very in vain.
Why is the first aid kit so important?
There are several reasons in order to visit the pharmacy before leaving for the property:
- Not always all our problems can be solved by insurance: your case may be non-break or you will not have the opportunity to contact the agent.
- Pharmacy is not always within walking distance.
- You must navigate in the international names of drugs.
- This medicine may simply not be.

Do you need vaccinations?
In some cases, without a certificate of vaccination to you, questions may arise at customs. You need to familiarize yourself with the rules of entry into one or another country.
However, it is important not even problems with the entrance, but those infections that you can pick up if you don't worry about protection in time. The main regions that should affect you with the need for vaccination, countries of Africa, Latin America and some Asian countries.
If your journey does not imply travel abroad, instead you prefer hiking in the forests of our country, will not be superfluous to ask your attending physician whether there is a vaccination from encephalitis, which causes a bite of a tick.

Tips "On the track"
Abroad Try to drink only bottled water: in many countries, drinking water from the tap and even in many cafes is not suitable for the stomach of man. In addition, always wash the fruits and vegetables before use, and even better - use them after the cook will conduct their heat treatment.
It will not be superfluous to take a bottle of antibacterial gel with you, which will help you before taking food where there will be no possibility to wash your hands.
