　　Amazon.co.uk Review
　　Warning: this book may put you off travelling forever. It seems everywhere you go there's risk of terrible debilitating illness. There's dengue fever, malaria and Japanese B encephalitis carried by mosquitoes. Hepatitis, dysentery, cholera, typhoid, internal parasites and polio spread by food and water. Not to mention the likelihood of sandfly fever, hookworms that bury in your feet, parasites which lay eggs under your skin and even the Black Plague, which really does still exist in some parts of Asia (spread by fleas). The well-designed symptom charts may induce severe hypochondria--and the squeamish may want to skip more lurid de*ions and the diagnosis charts for varieties of diarrhoea.

<p>　　Warning: this book may put you off travelling forever. It
seems everywhere you go there's risk of terrible debilitating
illness. There's dengue fever, malaria and Japanese B encephalitis
carried by mosquitoes. Hepatitis, dysentery, cholera, typhoid,
internal parasites and polio spread by food and water. Not to
mention the likelihood of sandfly fever, hookworms that bury in
your feet, parasites which lay eggs under your skin and even the
Black Plague, which really does still exist in some parts of Asia
(spread by fleas). The well-designed symptom charts may induce
severe hypochondria--and the squeamish may want to skip more lurid
de*ions and the diagnosis charts for varieties of
diarrhoea.<br />
　　Lonely Planet's handy, pocket sized guide is written by British
doctor (and seasoned backpacker) Isabelle Young and approved by a
panel of medical experts--which gives it authority over the usual
travellers hearsay. Although detailed in its de*ions of more
unusual illnesses, the guide is also very practical, dealing with
the more mundane problems of colds, cuts, sunstroke, and
indigestion. It also provides useful information on first aid,
immunisation and emergency resuscitation. It would prove very
useful in remote areas of India, Burma or Laos where doctor's may
be few and far between. Even seasoned backpackers will find useful
new tips--it suggests that menstruating women should avoid monkeys
in case of attack and that a tooth cavity should be plugged with
sugar-free chewing gum until a dentist is found. And, in case you
were wondering, "You should obviously seek medical advice as soon
as possible if you think you have plague".<br />
