However, cholera is a serious risk in this country and precautions are essential. For more information, see the Health appendix. Resistance to chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine has been reported. The recommended prophylaxis is mefloquine. Water used for drinking, brushing teeth or making ice should have first been boiled or otherwise sterilised.
Bottled water is readily available.
Milk is unpasteurised and should be boiled. Powdered or tinned milk is available and is advised, but make sure that it is reconstituted with pure water. Avoid dairy products which are likely to have been made from unboiled milk. Only eat well-cooked meat and fish, preferably served hot. Pork, salad and mayonnaise may carry increased risk.
