Resources, Tips & Tricks:
Always travel with Kleenex, hand sanitizer, baby wipes and Imodium/Pepto-Bismol
Always make a note of where the hospitals are, specifically the hospitals that your insurance will only work with.
Always know where the nearest Pharmacy is to you accommodations
Depending on your symptoms you may want to try the pharmacist first as they have some similar training as doctors when it comes to medication. This of course is dependent on your travel history - snake bites, animal bites, serious injury or bleeding etc., head to the hospital.
Busing lines for street food vendors id a good sign. Not just for the test but it also means high turn over of food.
