Peventing disease

One of the many concerns one might face while braving the wilderness is the threat of disease. It's much easier to prevent a disease than it is to cure one with limited resources so here are some tips you can use to your advantage:

• Protect food and drink from flies and vermin
• Bury excreta
  
• Wash yourself often and avoid swallowing water when you do
• Wash and smoke louse-ridden clothes
• Cover body to reduce risk of insect bites
• Sterilize eating utensils
• Wash and peel fruit
• Clean hands often, especially when eating or preparing food.
• Purify drinking water
• Get all suitable immunization before traveling

Most of these are common sense but they are important to keep in mind either way so stay vigilant!
