DREAM TRIPS and KEEPING SAFE
We all look forward to a trip or holiday, whether it is close to home or somewhere far away.
There are so many wonderful places to see and explore. Some places are more popular to visit and
have become a tourist mecca. Many people travel to the Asian countries such as Thailand or Philippines. It is known for its gorgeous beaches, friendly people and warm climate.
There are also many stray animals wandering around some areas.
Of course sometimes we like to feed or pet the animals.
I have a weakness for animals , so seeing a stray i would be one to try to feed or give it water.
For anyone that travels often to these places it is important to get vaccinated. This is something you can read about on most travel sites the recommended vaccinations needed. Much to my surprise
I have read in a recent news article it is also important to get a rabies shot: YES rabies.
Why? well in these countries there are many stray animals and some can carry the rabies virus.
So BEWARE of being bitten, scratched by ANY animal. If it does happen, wash the area well and go to the hospital immediately. Do not leave it to chance. Rabies can be deadly if left untreated.
So wherever you happen to travel or live , it is important to know.
HAPPY TRAVELS EVERYONE
