We here in Thailand are being told there is no reason to panice about any water borne deseases in the current floods.

We have thousands of tons of uncollected rubbish floating in the water animal and human waste.

What can we do to minimise the risk of contacting leptospirosis cholera malaria etc.

Is there som medicine we can take to lesson the risks.

many thanks

Paul
