Après plusieurs voyages en Thaïlande, dont le derniers de 6 mois sur Bangkok, je me suis malheureusement choppé une saloperie... Comme quoi faut tjrs faire attention : et quel est cette saloperie et bien c'est la GALE : la gale est un acarien ou minuscule araigné(0.5mm) qui cruise des petits tunnel sous votres peau pour y pondre ses oeufs. entre le moment de la premiere contamination jusqu'au premiers symptomes (très forte demangaison et appariton de point rouges) il faut +- 2 à 3 semaines, donc je me suis choper ça lors de ma dernieres semaines(cool moi qui suis resté 6 mois a bkk), j'avais été la semaine passé pour prise de sang a l'hosto de bruxelles, verdict : santé impecable, mais me suius choper "la gale", cet acarien se transmet très facilement, au niveau contact de la peau prolongé(realtion sexuelle), drap de lit mal propre(dans une Guest house par exemple) ou l'esseyage d'un vetement dans un marché ou centre commercial qui avais été contaminé. Je ne cherche nulement a lancer une polémique mais juste dire de faire quand meme attention... le traitement dure 5 jours(étalage de creme sur tous le corps 2 x par jours : je donerai un petit commentaire a la fin de ce traitement.
Bon tous cela ne m'empechera pas de repartir ds 1mois et demi.
merci

La gale, c'est la galère...j'en ai été victime 2 fois:
il ya 15 ans, mon chien me l'a refilée ( tonsure dans les cheveux: " gale du chien")
il y a 2 ans, après avoir lavé et séché mes draps dans un lavomatic.Comme quoi, ce n'est pas une question de pays!...
ps: quel remède as-tu reçu?

jolie la gonzesse thuan, si tu as la même en asiatique, moi je veux bien me choper la gale encore et encore, ...mais semblerais que ton intervention ai été supprimé. 😕
lol
Sinon pour la posologie de la crème en question c'est benzoate de benzyle et un autre produit qui commence par ceto, dessolé car le nom est marquer en écriture de médecins.
Par contre j'aurai besoin d'aide pour me mettre de la crème dans le dos, si sa intéresse quelqu'un???

bon courage !
Nous on l'avait chopée dans un refuge à La Reunion.
En plus du corps, y'avait fallu traiter tous les fringues des vacances, + tous les fringues des placards, vu qu'on avait rangé les fringues au placard avant d'apprendre le "verdict".

vérification faite, ce n'est pas le benzoate de benzile qui est interdit, mais le LINDANE, qui servait de remède auparavant mais qui a provoqué des complications.
Pour la lessive, c'est 60°.

Encore merci pour les conseils, oui pour les vetement c'est +- 60° et de preference les repasser après(vapeur va aider). La gale se transmet efectivement par contact rapproché, sauf poignet de main, bise, ... faut un contact plus long. la gale fait parti des IST infection sexuelement transmissible, tous est sur wikipedia.
J'ai commencé mon traitement ce matin a 10h, maintenant je doit attendre que ça parte. wait and see🙁

Pas besoin d aller si loin pour attraper la gale .
On peut l attraper dans le metro parisien ou elle est en recrudescence dans les rames de plus en plus cradingues . ( ah, Bangkok, Singapour, hong Kong, santiago du Chili et meme les ex-camarades moscovites avec leurs metros nickel de chez nickel )
En plus elle est gratuite pas besoin de carte orange, pardon, de passe Navigo pour y acceder.
Mais Chut, faut pas enerver la RATP !!!
Sinon 2eme jours du traitement, bcp moins de démangeaison déjà, j'ai acheté un anti-insecticide acariens, je vais faire un carnage a la maison...quitte a avoir un mauvais karma apres ça...

en 76 mon mari ma fille 5 ans et moi avons attrapé la gale par ami qui revenait du Mexique.Sans doute en lui prêtant notre lit.La gale est un acarien qui à une vie nocturne . La femelle aime pondre ds les endroits chauds du corps, entre les doigts, sous les seins, les aisselles etc...
Pour s'en débarrasser à l'époque un bain très très chaud pour dilater les pores de la peau et ensuite se passer un liquide au pinceau nommé Ascabiol.2 fois je ne sais plus à combien de tps de différence.La gale on s'en debarrasse facilement du corp. Le pb c'est de ne pas se réinfecter avec le linge.Ceux en coton c'est plus facile, les mettre en machine à la temperature la plus élevée possible.Pour les vêtements synthétiques on les avait mis ds des sacs poubelles avec de la poudre anti ascarien une semaine puis on les avaient lavés. à la T° maximum supporté pâr le lingeEnsuite bien les repasser notament ds les coutures.En fait bp de boul^t en perspective qd on a chopé cela.Les enfts comme on leur donne la main svt ils doivent l'attraper comme cela ou en venant ds le lit des parent le dimanche matin🙂🙂🙂🙂
Effectivement la gale est une mst car pour l'attraper le plus facilementr c'est de faire l'amour ds un lit bien chaud vu la vie nocturne de ces bestiolles.
Donc en voyage le mieux c'est de dormir ds un petit drap personnel

Ou alors de faire l'Amour dans un frigo, debout et en plein jour ?😉😏😏😏

Je t'envoie un petit post parce que ma nièce pharmacienne vient de me dire que depuis quelques mois on s'est rendu compte que l' IVERMECTINE, anti-parasitaire connu pour autre chose, est efficace à 99% sur la gale.
Ici c'est connu sous la marque STOMECTOL ou autre.
On prend un cachet 3mg, et c'est tout. Eventuellement, un autre cachet 1 semaine plus tard.
Les démangeaisons peuvent durer encore 2 à 4 semaines, le temps que l'épiderme soit totalement régénéré.
Et c'est fini!
Alors! Heureux?😛...

J'ai été chez mon dermato jeudi et d'après lui c'est fini(moi j'en suis pas sur)...mais on ne sais jamais que ça revienne... au cas ou sa reviendrais j'aurais un autre traitement crème + medoc...
J'avais reçu une crème lors de mon traitement et bien le jour suivant, soit 12h après la 1ere utilisation, ça a été presque comme une delivrance, plus de démangaison.
Le plus chiant c'est de laver tous son linge et ses drap tous les jours...10€ par jours rein que pour mes draps, pdt 7 jours, malheureusement c'est pas remboursé par la mutuelle...🙁
Merci pour l'info au sujet du medoc, j'ai de toute façon rdv ds 2 semaine de nouveau avec mon dermato au sujet de ma perte de cheveux...et pour revérifié ma gale...lol😄

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!
