Prepare for Jungle Trekking
|
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. |
