Traveler’s Fever? See a Doctor

by Mary Jo Manzanares on September 19th, 2006

A slight fever never seemed to alarm me, but it turns out that it may be a bigger deal than I’ve imagined. 

If you come home from your travels and have a fever, have a doctor check you out.  And if you’ve been traveling in an a malarial area, treat the fever as a medical emergency.  If you’re looking for a travel medicine specialist, check with the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
