Bilharzia
can be a problem in some of the east-flowing rivers but it
is easily detected and treated if it is caught early. If you
are concerned, you could have a routine test a month or two
after you get home - just to reassure yourself. Ticks generally
come out in the early spring and may carry tickbite fever,
which is easily treated. Other health issues you should be
aware of include hepatitis, for which you can be inoculated.
But, really, we have a pretty healthy climate and, except
in the most out-of-the-way places, our standard of water treatment
and such is equal to the best in the world. Yes, that does
mean you can drink the tap water in your hotel room.
