If you are traveling internationally you should be aware that conditions in other countries, both natural and man-made, may be significantly different from those in North America and may seriously affect health and personal security during travel.
Standards of hygiene may be different. Food and water may be contaminated. The climate or environmental conditions may favour disease organisms which do not occur in North America.
A little forethought and planning, and recognition that travel to other countries is not without hazards, can make all the difference between an enjoyable, problem-free travel experience, or an unpleasant experience or at worst a disaster. Health, safety, accident avoidance and security are your responsibility and should be considered both before and during travel. Contact your physician or a travel medicine clinic four to eight weeks before departure. Based on an individual risk assessment, a health care professional can determine your need for immunizations and preventive medication and can advise you on what precautions to take to avoid disease while traveling.
We recommend that you check the travel and health advisories for the countries you will be visiting.
We are confident our BE SAFE products when used as recommended will help to reduce the instances of illness due to the transfer of germs and viruses while you are traveling, however, we can not guarantee that you will not become ill.
