No matter where you live or where you go, you and your family may be at risk from infectious disease. In this easy-to-understand guide, true case histories and charts build a manual to avoid all types of disease; from AIDS and tuberculosis to chickenpox, salmonella and colds. The guide explores the chances of getting sick, simple precautions, worthwhile vaccinations, how to avoid infection in hospitals, special precautions during pregnancy and how to keep well while travelling. The symptoms that may signal trouble are discussed, along with what remedies should be packed when travelling, what to eat and not eat on the road, and why you should see your doctor before you get sick. Special sections give advice for pregnant women, people with HIV, diabetes and cancer.
