W.H.O. advice for Costa Maya


Cruisepucks

Recommended Posts

For those of you going to Costa Maya, the World Health Organization recommends that travellers use chloroquin (anti-malerial medication). This would be especially advisable for those going into the interior (ie. Mayan Ruins tour) where there will be a greater chance of running into a mosquito that carries the disease.

 

You should consult your MD or travel clinic at least a week prior to your departure as you need to begin taking the meds several days prior to your anticipated exposure.

 

Some people may rely on insect repellent alone. Remember, that just makes it harder for the insects to find you. If they do find you, it does not stop them from biting.

 

Have a great trip.:cool:

 

See you on board (Westerdam 3/11)

Good morning, spcl4cs_gal,

 

We are sailing on March 11, on the Westerdam.

 

Cheers:cool:

 

Well hey, if you haven't already done so (and feel so inclined), come over to the roll call board and join our little (but growing) group. Welcome aboard! :)

Hi,

 

Thanks. We are new to CC so don't know all the tricks and turns around the boards as yet.

 

We are booked with D & I for the ruins tour, probably at the same time as you.

 

Perhaps we will see you or some other CC members before that on board.

 

:cool:
