Consider presumptive treatment (Imodium and an antibiotic) for
traveler's diarrhea. Discuss the appropriate antibiotics for your
destination with a travel health specialist.
9) Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of medical problems
among tourists. Avoid riding motorcycles or wear a helmet and don't
drink and drive. Wear a seatbelt and only travel during daylight
hours.
10) Purchase travel insurance that includes emergency medical evacuation.
Most medical insurance plans aren't accepted when you travel
internationally.
