Hunter's Guide to Bush Medicine (The Hunter's Guide Series)

Everything in Africa bites, so the old saying goes and Africa is much less hospitable for the unwary visitor, and perhaps one of the biggest problems are infectious diseases one is likely to encounter. Forewarned is forearmed and many of these diseases may not be so easy to diagnose once a person is back in their hermetically-sealed, cellophane-wrapped First World environment. The emphasis of this book is simply raising awareness of what’s out there. Compiled from two decades of published material from the African Hunter magazine, written by hunters and bushmen who have been there and done that. Your family physician is the best one to go to for the latest up-to-date recommendations, though this Guide to Bush Medicine is offered as a tool for preparation. "Everything in Africa bites, but the safari bug is worst of all." - Brian Jackman
