Move to Antarctica or some other place where bacteria and viruses cannot live.  Alternatively, you could eat a healthy diet, get lots of exercise, and wear a SARS mask everywhere you go.. of course, that last one has a few fashion implications.

When u travel anywhere overseas u should always take precautions with your health.  Getting shots such as tetanus is always advised.  What that person should do is get in contact with their international travelers board (in their own country) and ask for advice on what vaccines they should take before heading out.  Seeing that all countries may have different diseases that have more of an affect on the general public.

you shoudl check e-bay or get a listing of medical supplies imports...because they might have this in stock or know who could supply them with this.\n\ne-bay is an online auction for anything - but products may not be genuine.\n\nyou need to keep in mind that you need warranties, after sales support and training maybe to use this machine, so go through a reputed importer who can provide this support.\n\nYou can maybe start your inquiries by asking a customs officer you know or any medical supply improters in Egypt

Be cautious just in case I would say...\n\nI once was in Northern China with my husband and a whole group of Chinese-Singaporeans. We were told by our Chinese guide that we should not eat nor drink in restaurants (all kind of hepatitis A,B etc and all). The local population was not bothered though.\n\nBut us, Caucasians and Singoporean-Chinese alike were warned not to eat anything nor drink any water in restaurants. Just in case......and that was from a local Chinese guide.\n\nWe all had all our numerous shots before-hand though..but did not take the risk.\n\nSo, basically :  I don't know but better consult other expats over there..

Try to politely check if she's Muslim or Coptic Christian (many Egyptians are) as they have dietary restrictions. Also, she may not be able to drink, and there may be other restrictions. You'll have to ask delicately so you don't offend her, but it's better to be direct than worry about it the whole time. She'll probably be glad to set some ground rules too.\n\nTW x

You need to go to your doctor 4-8 weeks before travel to receive vaccinations.  Current recommendations include malaria, hepatitis A, typhoid, yellow fever, hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, and rabies.  You should also be up to date on your regular vaccinations.

Are you going for a horseback ride around the pyramids in Giza, Egypt?\n\nIf so, please be careful. As you approach the pyramids, you will be swarmed by people claiming things like they work for the Tourism department of the Egyptian Government. If you follow them, they will lead to shoddy stables where poor sickly horses await.\n\nMany of these horses are chaffed down to the bone from saddles. Some are openly bleeding. If you are led to one of these stables, please kindly refuse to give them your business.\n\nAlso, these husslers are not actually allowed near the pyramids with their horses. They will lead you on a long goose-chase around the grounds, while trying to avoid the Egyptian police on camel. Every once in a while, they will get too close (close meaning about a half-mile away) and they will be confronted by the police... who will demand a bribe to be allowed to pass through.\n\nTo avoid all this, make your way to the pyramids admission gate, ignoring all the husslers along the way. Ask for a horse there.

I have been to Egypt two years ago and all I can do is to confirrm the previous answer. The country is beautifull, and there are both good and bad people in every country, as well as in Egypt. I have a couple of advice for you:\n1, Do not get too astonished by beauties, enjoy them. I know that you may not understand this, but it is so untrue that you need some time to get a grip of yourself. In the meantime, a lot of bad guys will try to cheat you, or sell you something bad for big money. Do not accept.\n\n2, Find a nice men owing his shop, and buy everything you need from him. Shops are pretty much the same, and a friend there will protect you from all the guys who want to cheat you.\n\nEnojy your stay in the most beautifull country I've ever visited.

Yes i think there will be. As to how bad it will be - no-one really knows, but it is always best to prepare. To prepare, you should stay upto date with any flu shots, because it gives your body a dry run if you will. Also having a few extra tin goods wouldnt hurt, so you dont have to leave the house so often. But apart from that, there is not much you can do, but follow any extra instruction given to you by the authorities

Yes, you could get them later if you are exposed to them (get near someone who has them during their contagious stage). They are more damaging if you get them as an adult.  You might ask your doctor if you can get a vaccination for them or what recommendation he/she would make for your protection.\nDon't wait, the sooner the better.
