Summary
FRIENDS frequently ask me, "What antibiotics and other drugs do you take with you to prevent Montezuma's Revenge when you travel to foreign countries?" They are surprised when I tell them I don't carry any medication. I add that I recently visited Egypt and cruised up the Nile River to the Aswan dam without carrying medication. My son and I didn't lose one minute to an attack of travellers' diarrhea during the trip. Was this just luck, or did I have a secret weapon to counter this terror-inducing disorder?
On past trips I confess I've lifted my eyes to Heaven and prayed, "Dear Lord, above all other worldly benefits please quickly grant me the sight of a bathroom.'' I'm sure other travellers have raised this silent prayer on a bus when the next stop is miles away. Or when a plane is delayed before take-off and passengers are prohibited from using the facilities.It's often been said that, "When in Rome do as the Romans do.'' That's possibly OK in Rome, but not in many other nations were sanitation is questionable.See the full content of this document
