Abstract
The possibilities of tourism are expanding more and more and hundreds of thousands of people go abroad every year with the desire to know the maximum of exoticism. However, traveling does not only bring nice experiences in an exotic environment, but of course also a number of health risks.
In addition to injuries, sudden complications or worsening of chronic diseases (discussed in the previous issue of the magazine), motion sickness and overflight, overheating or the consequences of unreasonable sunbathing, travelers are at risk of infectious diseases.
