There's no way, and probably no good reason, to be subtle about it
diarrhea, parasites, and other gastrointestinal unpleasantries can
be part of the price travelers pay for trying to see the world.
Fortunately, this frank, witty guide lets world-explorers fight
back against their invisible assailants. A noted traveler and
writer, Dr. Wilson-Howarth explores such issues as sanitizing
unhealthy water, safely consuming exotic foods, avoiding
dehydration, keeping good hygiene on the road, and immunization. A
special section details the dreaded creatures spiders, leeches,
worms that can put any tour into a tailspin. With special tips for
children and elderly travelers, as well as ways to dodge ailments
such as malaria, typhoid, and hepatitis, How to Shit Around the
World is the perfect, if not the most polite, traveling companion.
International travel is rewarding and fun, but sometimes it exacts
a price. Activities we take for granted—eating, bathing, and
going to the toilet—can range from challenging to risky in
unfamiliar territory. In How to Shit Around the World, Dr. Jane
Wilson-Howarth takes a sympathetic and funny approach to the most
basic human activity, interweaving hilarious anecdotes from fellow
travelers with sensible tips and techniques. More than just a
how-to, this book inspires the traveler to be adventurous in
dealing with foreign toilets, and to heed the fascinating cultural
lessons to be learned from the simple act of using the bathroom.
You're finally packed and ready to go on the holiday you've been
planning for months. But did you remember to plan for what happens
if you get ill or stung abroad? Author Dr. Jane Wilson-Howarth is
an expert in parasitology, vector ecology and child health, and
she's also travelled around the world to treat the sick. She
condenses all her years of medical experience into this incredibly
helpful guide that's packed with crucial case histories, advice on
immunisations and other precautions to take, tables and maps that
match disease risk to countries, tips to protect yourself from
insects and worms and so much more. So before you head to the
airport, pack this book along with your first-aid kit and you'll be
good to go!
