je me demande si ce ne sera pas un fardeau que de transporter un filet qui ne pourra peut-être pas s'installer facilement et n'importe où, ou si c'est un investissement essentiel quand on reste une longue période en Inde
Si dangereux ?

😎 Bonjour, pendant nos 2 mois au rajasthan, tamil nadu ou kérala en janvier-février,
nous n'avions pas de moustiquaires .Par contre tous les soirs on s'aspergeait avec un spray anti-moustiques .
jeannôt
blog d'infos pratiques sur : laos -inde du sud -kérala-myanmar-cambodge-malaisie : http://bzhjean.skyblog.com
Nous sommes partis 6 mois en sac a dos en Asie ca nous a semblé indispensable ... surtout au nord de la thailande par exemple
En inde nous l'avons mise tous les soirs quasiment ... et on a jamais eu de probleme pour la mettre, C T une mousticaire facon typie donc un seule point d'attache ...
nous l'attachions au plafond sur le ventilo ... ou sinon a l'aide d'un crochet vis ... et aussi avec un crochet autocollant si yavait pas moyen de faire autrement .
Nous nous aspergions aussi d'un spay parfois en cas de sortie le soir ...
En 6 mois Aucun probleme de piqure
On peut dire on étaient parés ! lol
Avant le départ nous avons meme lavé les principaux vetement que nous allions mettre avec un produit anti moustique qui protegeait 6 mois ...
Nous sommes pas du tout parano des moustiques mais bon on prefere eviter on sais jamais de plus que nous on voulais faire des endroits peu touristique et un peu reculé parfois donc ... et en plus avec les treks jungle et tout ....
Enfin bon pas besoin de t'équiper comme un malade pour l'inde mais bon prends tes precautions qd meme !
Ram ram,
Une chose que l’on oublie souvent, les moustiques ne résistent pas au ventilateur !
Donc si tu dors avec le ventilo, les moustiques ne pourront pas te piquer… Ceci dit les moustiquaires sont souvent installées s’il y en a un besoin…
Et installer sa propre moustiquaire n’est pas toujours chose aisé.
Perso, je dirais d’acheter plutôt de la crème sur place, parce qu’une moustiquaire ça prend de la place dans un sac surtout si tu ne l’utilises pas..

Une chose que l’on oublie souvent, les moustiques ne résistent pas au ventilateur !
Donc si tu dors avec le ventilo, les moustiques ne pourront pas te piquer…
Tu as raison sauf que les pannes de courant sont très fréquentes...
A part si tu reste en altitude, sinon une moustiquaire est indispensable, ne tient quasiment pas de place ( un boudin de 30cms de long sur 10 de diamètre ) et très léger. A toi de voir...
Bonjour,
Moi je dis la moustiquaire indispensable, parce que le spray antimoustique on oublie souvent des endroits isoles (pieds, mains, cous) et en plus tous les soirs (tu peux partir avec 10 litres, enfin tu en trouves sur place) avec ca, ca colle et c'est super pas agreable quand tu viens de prendre la douche. Je te conseille de l'emporter ca tient pas enormement de place et surtout (j'habite Mumbay) et je vois pas ou on peut en trouver, avec un spray pour les sorties. Par contre en impregne, laisses tomber moi j'en ai une, il suffit que tu mettes ton bras ou ta jambe contre la moustiquaire (lit trop petit) et tu te fais vampiriser, ca n'eloigne pas les moustiques. Pour le ventilo je n'ai vu aucun effet repulsif, ca eloigne pas les moustiques surtout qu'on a du faire concession entre ventilo ou prise antimoustique et finalement la moustiquaire c'est revelee super pratique, le seul defaut c'est que tu peux pas l'attacher partout (dans les hotels) ou faut etre Mac Gyver (les patchs autocollants super, connaissait pas), par contre en bord de mer no mosquitos. De toute facon difficile de pas se faire piquer, au resto le soir...mais autant passer une nuit tranquille.
Ps: avec un 2 places tu seras plus tranquille sinon une 1 place tu touche la moustiquaire de partout.
Bonjour, moins je pense qu'il vaut mieux l'acheter sur place si vous en voulais une car sa sera bcp moins chére à mada on a croisé des gens qui en avait acheté une en france une fortune alors que sur place on a acheté la même environ 6 euros . attention ne fait pas comme moi si elle est imprégné d'insecticide éviter de vous en servir d'oreillé car me matin on a le visage tout rouge et sa brûle comme un coup de soleil !
Je viens de lire votre message (daté de 2007!).
Je prépare mon départ pour Madagascar et je suis d'accord avec l'adage: "mieux vaut prévenir que guérir"!;)
Dans votre message, vOus parlez d'un produit pour imprégner les vêtements d'un répulsif moustiques en les lavant.
VOus pourriez me donner les références? Ca marche?Les vêtements ne sentent pas trop mauvais après le lavage?
Personnellement j'ai acheté une moustiquaire velux que je garde dans mon sac à dos. Je m'en sers comme moustiquaire d'appoint au besoin quand j'arrive dans des endroits ou il n'y en pas aux fenêtres je met la mienne. Sinon pour la tente j'ai une moustiquaire qui s'attache au centre du toit, on appelle cela une moustiquaire ciel de lit. Je les lave au besoin avec du savon et je les rince avec un insecticide qui éloigne les moustiques. On en trouve en pharmacie.
Je me sers d'une vieille moustiquaire que je répare, lessive et imprègne de Permethrin à chaque voyage......une boule dans mon sac de quelques grammes.
Le problème c'est Qu'il n'est pas évident du tout de l'attacher et cela relève souvent du parcours du combattant ayant déjà utilisé des méthodes folkloriques.....
Il n'y a pas toujours un ventilateur ou une attache au dessus du lit..... les crampons ou clou ou crochet ne rentre pas toujours dans le mur au dessus du lit. Les crochets avec collants souvent ne collent pas et la moustiquaire vous tombé dessus une heure ou deux tard....j'ai aussi essayé d'autres moyens plus cocasses : la faire tourner Aude la tête du lit (quand il y en a une) puis la rentrer dans le matelas sur les côtés et le pied en mettant sac et valises de chaque côté du pied du lit (à l'intérieur évidemment pour donner de la hauteur) et là, j'ai 30 cm environ de liberté sous mon lit......
Pour moi , il est vital de l'avoir non seulement pour les moustiques mais autres bestioles rencontrées style cafards et araignées.....
Si quelqu'un à d'autres idées, n'hésitez pas à nous les partager
Merci
Marie

I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
My current plan is to get my teeth treated in Cuba, especially for dental implants.
Has anyone here had experience and could refer me to a good, affordable dentist?
I’d really appreciate it if you could give me an idea of the price for one implant, since I need at least 6 done.
Thanks so much!
