 If you have never travelled to developing nations.... February 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you have never traveled to developing nations in out of the way places then you might find this book useful. However, you can find much of this information through the U.S. CDC and W.H.O. websites.
Most times the happy little diseases or maladies that travelers take home are things that cause diarrhea. This book clearly lacks information related to many important aspects of food handling, processing, and stomach wellness. However if you want to know about exotic illnesses you will probably never get than maybe this book is helpful.
I would not recommend this book.

...where to go in central and south america, then read this through. As with all Lonely Planets book, it got lots of information! I want to go to Guatemala or Ecuador, but I didn't really know too much about any of these countries. Reading this through helped me. I'm going to BOTH!
