Hi guys! I'm going to be taking my first trip to the tropics and am looking for some tips for avoiding infections when hiking in the jungle. I'll be doing field work all day every day for 10 days. Not camping, but living conditions will be dorm style with no a/c. Any other tropical jungle advice is welcomed. Note - CDC does not consider this part of CR to be a malaria zone. I'm planning on dousing myself in picardin and am required to wear long pants and boots. Will also get typhoid vaccine. Thanks in advance!
