In a forest, we will never know what
are hiding inside so we should prepare ourselves when
going to trek as following.
• Check the temperature before setting out; trekking in
very hot weather can cause sickness.
• It is very important to take plenty of water with you
and drink it often.
• For the daytime, trekkers are recommended to wear long
pants and a long-sleeved cotton shirt and long socks to
preclude scratches and cuts, and a hat and sunglasses
to prevent strong sunlight.
• A light jacket should be taken by trekkers because it
will get colder quickly in the forest when night comes.
• To prevent leeches, rub socks and legs with a mixture
of salt and tobacco. If getting sucked, try to remove
them with salt, vinegar, alcohol, tobacco juice or a lighted
cigarette.
• To prevent yourself from malaria, consult a doctor for
the right prophylactic before taking a trip.
• Do take a basic medical kit with you if planning to
trek for several days.
