Warnings Or Dangers: Health Warnings for Santo Domingo
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • If you're spending much time in Dominican Republic, especially if outside of Santo Domingo, make sure to wear mosquito repellent with maximum concentration of DEET. They have had major outbreaks of dengue fever (ugh) & malaria over the last 12-18 months. If you're going to be out in the countryside much, you should definitely start (& complete!!!) an anti-malarial treatement.

    During the few weeks after your visit to DR, if you come down with fever, aches, "flu-like" symptoms: visit a doctor immediately (in 1-2 days max, not 1 week or more) and tell them that you have travelled to a country with recent dengue/malaria outbreaks. These illnesses are quite deadly if not treated promptly & _properly_. Both of these illnesses are often misdiagnosed in "world" travellers, and mistakes can be fatal.

    Oh yeah, don't drink the water either.
