14 years ago

Some folks are interested in what types of diseases and maladies that they can pick up in Ecuador. I would like to recommend a little book that can give you an idea of some of the things to look out for. You can buy it or download it.

"Travel Health Companion" - published by Shoreland, Inc., P.O. Box 13795, Milwaukee, WI 53213-0795.

Their website where you can obtain the booklet is:
