After the Trip:

Control your health when you come back home is also very important. There are health issues that can be revealed only 6 months after. If you have any simpton and you need to see a doctor, don't forget to mention that you were away travelling, mention the places and the time. A simple flue can actually be a serious tropical virrus for example.

If you want to take all the precautions you can book an appointment with a specialist, like an Infecciologist and check if you are perfectly fine.
