SHITTING PRETTY: by DR. JANE WILSON-HOWARTH
|
SummaryInternational travel is rewarding and a great deal of fun,
but sometimes it exacts a price. Activities we take for
granted--eating, bathing, and going to the bathroom--can
range from challenging to risky in unfamiliar territory. Dr.
Jane Wilson-Howarth knows plenty about these quandaries,
having spent eleven years running health clinics and doing
research in the Himalayas. In SHITTING PRETTY, she takes a
humorous, sympathetic approach to one of the most basic
human activities, interweaving anecdotes from fellow
travelers with sensible tips and techniques for how to avoid
diarrhea, parasites, and scary diseases such as malaria,
typhoid, and hepatitis. Dr. Wilson-Howarth covers the basics
of how to eat and drink safely, explains symptoms and cures,
and also tells why gastrointestinal diseases--the traveler's
most common complaint--occur. More than just a how-to
(though it is that), SHITTING PRETTY aims to inspire the
traveler to be adventurous and unashamed when dea! ling with
foreign toilets, and to heed the fascination cultural
lessons to be learned from the simple act of using the bathroom.
