Non-vaccine preventable risks

• West Nile Fever is contracted through mosquito bites. It has become more widely recognised in recent years. Symptoms include fever, sensitivity to light, conjunctivitis, swelling of the lymph glands and rash. Especially during summer months, travellers should take precautions to avoid mosquito bites. 

• Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is a viral illness transmitted to humans via infected ticks.  Symptoms are often mild such as a fever and rash, yet may occasionally become severe and even life threatening.  Avoidance of tick bites where possible is recommended.

• HIV infection is spread through sexual intercourse or infected blood or blood products (e.g. through blood transfusions or the use of blood contaminated instruments such as intravenous needles).
