Mosquito-borne diseases like dengue and malaria can be a concern when travelling in India or Pakistan, especially during and after the monsoon. In this video, I show you the simple steps I take to reduce my risk, including one travel essential I always buy as soon as I arrive. My late-night trip to the supermarket didn't quite go as planned though... The Police found me! 🦟 Travel tips: • Use a mosquito repellent or plug-in vaporiser indoors. • Wear long sleeves and trousers around dawn and dusk. • Apply insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or IR3535 to exposed skin. • Sleep in air-conditioned rooms or use mosquito nets where needed. • Remove or avoid standing water where mosquitoes breed. These precautions greatly reduce your risk, but no method is 100% effective. If you develop a fever during or after your trip, seek medical advice promptly.
