We’ve come up with a few ideas, but we want to hear from you. Do you want articles on sunburn? Diarrhoea? Hangovers? Pregnancy?
Let us know by posting on this thread.
Cheers.

We’ve come up with a few ideas, but we want to hear from you. Do you want articles on sunburn? Diarrhoea? Hangovers? Pregnancy?
Sunburn: Sit in a shady pub drinking until it’s gone. Then make sure you drink in the shade from now on.
Diarrhoea: Drop 1 immodium tablet into your beer. Consume as usual.
Hangover: Once you have removed yourself from the bathroom floor/gutter/fat girl’s bed, immediately make your way to the nearest bar. Consume two pints of beer as quickly as you can without vomiting. You’re now back on track and ready to spend the day drinking with friends.
Pregnancy: Take one bottle of whiskey and one coat hanger. Mix vigorously.
Altitude sickness.
There’s lots of posts about malaria and anti malarials - this would be a good article.
How about some information about health care in different countries, the process you need to go to to get assistance, costs which may be involved etc.
It could also include information on medication or available in pharmacies or medication which you cannot buy in pharmacies which you could buy here for example.
Positions you can fuck a girl in bareback that wont get her pregnant!

I’ll run this past the doctor who might be writing the articles.
How about:
Preventing sunburn (with a focus on what SPF means and what to look out for post-travel re: melanoma).
Suggested first aid kit contents (and how to use those items)
Lighthearted article on hangovers
Agree with Daisy about how to access medical care in the top gap year destinations (Aus, Thai, NZ etc)
STIs / HIV

Heat exhaustion. I can see plenty of people getting this if they aren’t drinking enough and in a hot country.
The idea about preventing sunburn is a good one.

Interesting one. This would be good.
As well as one on maybe how to deal with home sickeness. I’d like to think I’d never get that, but you just never know.

Maybe an article on where to buy condoms from would suit you James?
What to do if you get stung by a jellyfish… or bitten by a snake… or spider / scorpion. What to do if a leech gets stuck on you.
That programme on tropical diseases made me think of those!
