Climbing Kilimanjaro. Hiking from Angkor Wat to Bayon Temple. Paddle boarding the Nile River.
Global travel and fitness have long been married for healthy, thrill-seeking travelers looking for more adventure than a beach chair and a book. But for millions of international explorers, those journeys included an unpleasant and unintended physical challenge - repeated sprints to the nearest restroom.
Traveler's diarrhea plagues some 15 million globetrotters every year. It is one of the most common food- and water-borne illnesses. And while not as potentially deadly as
typhoid fever or
hepatitis A, for which
preventative vaccines are available, TD and other gastrointestinal ailments are not welcome companions on any trip.
Passport Health's Food & Water Safety Travel Kit helps international travelers avoid such detours in a convenient and easily packable pouch. Items in the kit include:
- Assuregi digestive tract protection (compared to TRAVELAN) - 10-day supply
- Diaresq (diarrhea relief)
- Measuring Syringe
- Rehydration salts
- Laxative
- Water purification tablets
- Benzalkonium chloride antiseptic wipes
- Loperamide (compared to Imodium AD)
- Bismuth subsalicylate (compared to Pepto Bismol)
- Calcium carbonate (compared to Tums)
