Certains vont dire oui d'autres non, le mieux demander a un médecin....
Perso NON
Perso NON
S.D
Pour moi c'est non, mais vous aurez tous les avis!
Le traitement est lourd, la profilaxie sert aussi à soigner. En utilisant à outrance ces médicaments, nous favorisons les souches résistantes qui empêchent les locaux de se soigner!!!
Le plus important tout faire pour éviter les piqûres d'insectes🏴☠️
Pour rappel le traitement anti palu ne marche pas contre la dengue ou l'encephalite japonaise!
DUC
En fait je suis alllé à l'institut pasteur de Lille, où nous avons fait les vaccins qui nous ont été recommandés. le médecin nous a demandé si nous allions à l'intérieur des terres, et que dans ce cas là, il faudrait prendre le traitement. Personnellement je ne connais pas le pays et j'ignore quelles sont les zones à risque. je vous remercie
Lj
vu votre parcours, c'est plutôt non. Par contre, prenez du anti moustique pour votre peau et pour vos vêtements. Pour vous rassurez ou pas, j'ai fait mon parcours en Asie du Sud-Est (7 mois) sans le prendre (j'avais des doses en cas de crise) et aucun problème. Ce sont vraiment dans des zones rurales et plutôt à la saison humide.
bon voyage.
bon voyage.
je ne sais rien ... mais je vous dirais tout !!

J'aurais fait le sens inverse du Nord au Sud: en gardant la chance d'avoir encore le beau temps dans le Nord et en arrivant au Sud vers la fin Novembre, j'aurai plus de chance d'avoir du ciel bleu.
Quelques photos de Can Tho vers fin Novembre.
Quelques commentaires sur le circuit:
Le marché Binh Tây est le marché de Cholon. Vous l'avez déjà visité au deuxième jour, pas la peine de l'intégrer au 3ème jour. Je vous propose de le remplacer par la visite du musée de l'Histoire du ViêtNam qui se trouve dans l'enceinte du Zoo de Saigon.
Au 7ème jour, ne parlons pas de balnéaire à Hoi An, gâcher une journée pour rien et alimenter une mauvaise réputation des plages du VN.
Idem pour le col des nuages du 8ème jour. Garder cela en hypothèse, si ce jour-là il n'y a pas de nuages à l'horizon, idem pour les 3 jours réservés dans cette partie du Centre du ViêtNam, quand il n'y a pas d'inondations.
Si j'étais vous, je consacrerais 1 semaines dans le Nord, et une semaine dans le Sud et si j'ai envie de balnéaire, je garderai 3 jours pour Phu Quôc ou mieux pour Con Dao.

Bonjour,
Pour le palu, je laisse la place aux medecins. Par contre, pour le parcours dans le delta, je me demande bien qui a ose vous proposer ca. Vous allez passer votre temps sur la route et ne rien voir ou presque.
En ce qui concerne les marches flottants, j'espere que ce n'est pas celui de Can Tho qu'ils vous proposent car vous n'arriverez pas a destination avant 16 heures et il n'y en a plus, c'est le matin.
Au retour, Can Tho - Saigon, c'est minimum une demi-journee.
Bonnes vacances ! Pat

Regardez la rubrique santé ,
plusieurs intervenants dont
NHaque, Abalone ont laissé des messages on ne peut plus clairs sur ce sujet
Précisions ce sont des médecins qui connaissent bien le pays pour des raisons suivantes
ils habitent régulièrement ou souvent le pays
bon voyage

Bonjour
Votre réponse n apporte pas de citique particuliere:
je reprends quelques réflexions déjà publiées:
Pour notre fameux Palu:
1/des milliond de morts continuent dans le monde en particulier en AF ou povenance de plus de 98° des cas palu importés
Pour le traitement préventif courte durée
2/dans un meme pays certaines régions en sont indemnes d autres sont impaludés( cas du VN)
3/il n y a pas un traitement unique pour tous les pays// pour un meme traitement les effets secondaires sont differents soit intolerance totale soit relativement accepté
5/ le traitement doit etre adapté a chaque individu : une femme enceinte, un polymédicalisée, un nourisson etc ne sont pas tout le monde
6/ le type de séjour , le temps de séjour la région, la période de séjour les facteurs climatiques etc ...conditionnent aussi le traitement
exple un expatrié de longue années ne peut supporter un tt a long cours ( pb yeus par exple)
il a droit a
soit rien supplée soit par 1 traitement présomptif ou traitemt curatif
et puis comme vous avez dit utiliser mal un medicament peut entrainer a la longue son inefficacité par résistance !
les post de NHaque est formidable et Abalone aussi je conselle a tout voyageur de jeter un coup d oeil
ce que j ai ecrit n est pas exhaustif
enfin d autres betes piqueurs peuvent transmettre d autres maladies (dengue par exple) l usage de moyens physiques : répulsifs (insect ecran en fR par exple) pour la peau les vetements et meme des moustiquaires imprégnés
d autre commentaires seront bienvenus meme pour corriger mes erreurs éventuelles
merci

Hi there,
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?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

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.

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!

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,

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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?
Thanks in advance, everyone.

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?
Thanks so much for your help!

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!
Hi there,
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!
