getting over travel
The after effects
26.09.2006
This time its not my travel but someone elses that I'm recovering from.India a place I have never been to and may never go to has become very intimatly know. Its deceases its infections have come home with my son.
Ameobic dysentry loss of weight and exhaustion has wiped away most of the good that the trip did.It seems that antibiotics are available over the counter so that like anything else it can be abused. Not my problem , what people do with their own bodies is their concern but when it means that a serious illness cannot respond and is brought home then I reserve the right to say what ever I want.
Just in case you are going to travel and have taken all precautions let me add few things to keep in mind.
You will know not to drink thwe water, eat salad washed in tap water or ice cubes. Please add ,do not wade through flood waters or drive a Bike through flood waters.
Do not take monthly doses of strong antibiotics.
Do believe that doctors know more than you
If taking rehydration powders DO follow the instructions.
Do not discharge yourself from hospital unless it is in dire necessity
Do not drink alchohol when taking antibiotics.
Opium may help the pain and stop the need to eat but will also mean you neglect to get proper treatment.
I hope this saves someone from bringing a unwelcome present home to their mother.
