Je vais aller au Rajasthan en novembre 2015, et je voudrais savoir s'il faut prendre un traitement anti palud

Le Rajasthan n'est pas franchement un coin à moustiques, pas besoin de traitement anti palu pour moi.

Bonjour ! a priori en novembre et au Rajasthan... ce n'est peut-être pas la peine de se droguer. Mais quand même faire un peu attention au coucher du soleil à ne pas rester bras ou jambes nues (j'entends les chevilles... ! ) des chaussettes sont bien car les moustiques aiment les pieds ! Mais ce n'est pas la mousson et il commence à faire froid donc pas trop de risque. Il y a eu cependant quelques cas de dengue à Jaisalmer ! Odomos à acheter sur place sera suffisant.

Je rejoins Madeleine, y compris dans son rappel qu'il n'y a pas que la malaria, et que la dengue présente aussi un risque.

Avant mon voyage du printemps 2012, le Ministère de la Santé indien donnait accès aux statistiques locales (malaria, dengue) par district de 2010. A leur lecture, j'ai identifié que le risque était modéré et très localisé dans le district de Jaisalmer. Evidemment moindre en saison sèche, peu favorable aux moustiques.

En conséquence, je me suis contenté d'une protection à Jaisalmer : Odomos + chambre avec air conditionné. Rien ailleurs dans le Rajasthan. Si la situation n'a pas changé au Rajasthan, cela devrait toujours convenir.

Pour se faire sa propre idée, je suggère d'accéder à la littérature scientifique, par ex. : - http://www.malariasite.com/malaria-india/ - le rapport le plus récent de l'OMS/WHO.

Sans être médecin, le risque associé à la malaria me semble dépendre : - du vecteur, ici le moustique anophèle, avec une présence variant fortement selon la géographie et selon la saison. - d'un réservoir d'infection, des malades de la malaria (voir l'incidence de la maladie par districts). - de la facilité d'accès à un traitement curatif (au Rajasthan, on n'est jamais loin de l'hôpital d'un grand centre urbain). - de la résistance aux traitements, au cas où l'on attrape la maladie.

Fabrice

P.S. : l'été 2011, une épidémie de dengue sévissait à Delhi, surtout dans les quartiers les plus huppés. A cause des piscines qui se révélaient des réservoirs à moustiques.
S'exposer à l'Etranger lointain amène à mieux connaître et comprendre sa propre Culture.

Pas besoin de traitement anti-palu au Rajasthan, c'est plutôt le désert là-bas! En plus, tu y vas en hiver, la température se refroidira dès que le soleil se cachera, ce qui n'est pas trop apprécié des moustiques... Bonnes vacances (c'est pour bientôt!)

Ventoline et réglementation au Japon
Bonjour

Je prépare un voyage au Japon pour l'année prochaine et je fais de l'asthme...

Je voulais savoir la réglementation au niveau de la Ventoline (Salbutamol) au Japon, est-ce considéré comme une drogue ? Où bien je peux amener mon inhalateur avec moi ? Ou bien faut-il que j'achète un produit similaire au Japon ?

Merci d'avance pour vos réponses.

Medical care in France for an American?
Hi everyone!

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.

Could you shed some light on this for me?

Thanks in advance.

Luggage security, water, and mosquitoes in the Philippines – questions
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?

Thanks for your feedback!

Sun Protection
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!

Precautions and Vaccines for Madagascar Starting in February
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

Timing for taking anti-malarial medication
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?

Thanks for your replies!

Medical Treatment and Round-the-World Trip
Hi everyone,

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!)

Thanks in advance! 😉 Ananasas

Traveling with Medications to Dubai
Hi there,

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?

Thanks

Cape Verde and Zika risk for pregnant women
Hi,

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?

Thanks

Traveling with asthma medication
Hi everyone,

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?

Thanks in advance for your replies,

See you soon, Bruno

Doctor recommendations in Bangkok

Vaccines and treatments for Thailand
Hi there,

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?

Thanks for your advice! Fred

Voyager en étant diabétique
Bonjour ! Alors voilà, j'hésite à faire un long voyage. J'aimerais partir 2 voir 3 et voyager dans plusieurs continents. J'aimerais avoir quelques renseignements . Je fais souvent des allergies inexpliquées et je dois suivre un traitement quotidien pour soigner mon diabète (insuline). J'ai cru comprendre que je pouvais demander une autorisation à mon médecin pour voyager 6 mois avec le traitement c'est bien cela ? Est-il possible au bout des 6 mois (plutôt que d'embêter un proche à envoyer les médicaments) de se rendre chez un médecin étranger pour obtenir une autorisation de 6 mois de voyage à nouveau ? Comment cela se passe à l'aéroport ? A t-on besoin d'une seule autorisation de transport de médicaments ? Ou bien doit-on dans chaque pays (une fois le traitement écoulé) demander une autorisation de transport de médicaments pour l'avion et une DCI ? De plus, les assurances voyages ne couvrent pas les maladies chroniques donc les consultations à l'étranger seront de ma poche ? Je ne sais pas si j'ai été clair. De plus, les assurances voyages ne couvrent pas les maladies chroniques donc les consultations à l'étranger seront de ma poche ? Merci d'avance pour votre réponse.

Which health insurance should I choose for a trip to the USA?
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?

Thanks in advance, everyone.

Bali in summer with a child: risk of illness?
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!

4-week backpacking trip in Cambodia and Laos
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.

Fur seals and seals in Southern Africa: rabies alert
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…
