Many drink of water . Central America semi- moist , and in many places can be extremely hot and steamy . to stay hydrated ! But :
Do not drink tap water . Otherwise you hear about a specific hotel or island until Generally , throughout Central America to avoid drinking tap water . So are stomach upsets or bad that many pathogens contaminated water . Fortunately , pure water is readily available .
Watch out for snow . You know , this is made of pure water in the same vein , avoid ice in Central America . ( Multiple locations using pure ice - just ask ! )
Boil it , cook it , peel it or forget it . Central America offers an incredible variety of fruits and vegetables , and especially in the East is irresistible . However , unpeeled fruit or fruit / vegetables washed in tap water, eat as potentially serious , can make you sick . Easy to remember where I come catchphrase . " Boil it , cook it , peel it or forget it " you can peel it or cook , do not eat it .
Be wary of street food basket . Unless you have a very sensitive stomach, I would not recommend completely avoiding road vehicles . My favorite Central American food has been some road vehicles . However , the quality and cleanliness of both road car , is definitely a gamble . This is probably not the best idea a long time to find meat that has been sitting .
Watch out for stray dogs and cats . I have a tremendous animal lover , and stray dogs and cats in the heart of Central America, and both are indispensable . But petting is another story . A dog or cat bites are hard to find you the medicine in a rural area, especially if you are traveling , is serious business . What's worse , rabies is alive and well in Central America , and nothing will wrecks a vacation faster than a fatal disease .
Feed wildlife . Human food can be unhealthy dangerous wild animals .
Wildlife, not pets . I avoid idleness super slow know this is an easy goal to cuddle . But it is not . First, not only cuts hurt the animal , but because the disease can spread . Second , it is not good for wildlife . You will have volunteered with wildlife , received a rabies vaccine is usually recommended .
Big spray is your best friend . Well , actually , but it is very important . Mosquitoes area depending on the weather , a big annoyance for all of Central America and range from a mild discomfort grief . In addition to causing itchy bites , low blood sucking diseases such as malaria and dengue fever (no vaccination ) is spread . Long sleeves and pants in the evening is the best defense - can be hard , I know , steamy jungle places - insects repellent permethrin and DEET insect repellent fabric in the treatment of certain subjects ( at least 25% DEET in spray exposed skin , but more than 50 percent ) . Big spray using hate , but it is only for a limited time , and I would hate more dengue .
You get the vaccine !B , Taifaieed and yellow fever ( found in all vaccine -like) . If you will be working with animals, the rabies vaccine is usually recommended DC . In addition , several Central American region, malaria , and malaria tablets are recommended .
Cyprus , in the case of serious illness of the stomach or other heavy -duty anti Baivtk is careful to ask for a prescription . In the U.S. by prescription only drugs that can be bought in pharmacies counter Central America . The hardest part is being able to describe your problem in Spanish !
