Health is a major concern for most travelers.
Healthy Travel guides provide the practical advice and reassurance travelers are looking for. The emphasis throughout the series is on practicality. Because travelers get common ailments as well as exotic diseases, a wide range of problems are covered, from how to deal with fever and basic first aid for cuts and sprains, to what to do if you think you have malaria and how to avoid altitude sickness. They also provide clear guidance on when travelers need to seek medical help and how to go about it, as well as essential information on women's health issues. Designed to accompany Lonely Planet guidebooks, the Healthy Travel guides' smaller format is perfect for stowing in your bag or backpack.
