Anything from a change in diet and lifestyle to poor hygiene (or even an accident gulp of water in the shower) can increase the chances of contracting an unwanted stomach illness. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">To minimize the risk, <strong>drink only bottled water, avoid ice<\/strong> (although most places are pretty good with using bottled water for ice these days),<strong> be careful when eating fresh fruit and vegetables<\/strong> that could have been washed in contaminated water and <strong>pay particular attention to personal hygiene.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Should you or your family members contract the dreaded Bali Belly, be sure to <strong>stay well-hydrated<\/strong>. Pocari Sweat is the Indonesian version of Powerade and will help replace electrolytes, otherwise drink some hydro coco (coconut water) or buy some electrolyte sachets from the pharmacy. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">My personal cure (one I learnt from the locals) is to buy activated charcoal tablets. The brand \u2018Norit\u2019 are sold in mini-marts and pharmacies and will only set you back about 20c! Finally,<strong> avoid spicy foods, dairy foods, alcohol and coffee<\/strong> whilst your body is recovering.<br><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Animals and insects<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-1294\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rsz_dengue-fever-via-bimc-hospital.jpg\" alt=\"medical clinics bali\" class=\"wp-image-1294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rsz_dengue-fever-via-bimc-hospital.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rsz_dengue-fever-via-bimc-hospital-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: BIMC Hospital<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">For animal lovers, Bali is quite the treat but it is important to be aware of the dangers that certain wild animals impose. Wild monkeys and stray dogs could potentially be carrying rabies so even if you are encouraged to do so, you should<strong> avoid any contact<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">If you are bitten or scratched, you should <strong>wash the wound thoroughly and seek medical advice as soon as possible. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Mosquito-borne illnesses<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The risk of catching Malaria in Bali, though small is possible, especially if you are on the island for longer periods of time or visiting rural areas. There is, however, a higher risk of catching<strong> Dengue Fever<\/strong> especially in rural areas and in the wet season. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Unfortunately, there is no vaccination against the disease so prevention is the best cause \u2013 <strong>avoid being bitten by mosquitoes<\/strong>. We highly recommend<strong> bringing along mosquito repellent with DEET<\/strong> as it&#8217;s hard to find in Bali.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">If in doubt, check with your doctor before you travel. It\u2019s important to spot the signs if you suspect you or a family member might have contracted the disease and you should seek help quickly. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The symptoms can be similar to influenza; be on the lookout for high temperature, aches and pains, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, headaches, chills and sweating etc.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Local products that will help with bite prevention and itchy bites include Kayu Putih Cajuput Oil and Tiger Balm, both of which can be found in mini-marts and pharmacies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Water hazards<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">During times of rough seas and strong currents, exercise caution when taking part in any water-sports or swimming in the sea and be sure to keep a close eye on children as <strong>not all beaches in Bali have lifeguards or rescue teams<\/strong> on duty. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">Be mindful when going on any boat journeys or trips in Indonesia as safety standards are often poor. Lifeguards are not always on duty in hotel pools and, in some cases, the standard of lifeguard training is questionable.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Road and vehicle-related accidents<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-1295\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rsz_motorbike-riding-via-bali-kids-guide-1024x697.jpg\" alt=\"motorbike riding in bali\" class=\"wp-image-1295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rsz_motorbike-riding-via-bali-kids-guide-1024x697.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/rsz_motorbike-riding-via-bali-kids-guide-1024x697-300x204.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Bali Kids Guide<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">One of the most common types of accident and injury in Bali is through motorcycle accidents.

Medical care for foreigners can be very expensive, especially if you need hospitalisation or evacuation. Always double-check that your policy covers things like motorbike accidents, adventure activities (surfing, diving, rafting), and pre-existing conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should I do if I get Bali Belly?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mild cases can often be managed with hydration, electrolyte drinks like Pocari Sweat, and activated charcoal tablets (sold cheaply in Bali under the brand \u201cNorit\u201d). But if symptoms are severe\u2014such as prolonged vomiting, dehydration, or blood in your stool\u2014head straight to a clinic or hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are Bali hospitals safe for foreigners?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. While public hospitals like RSUP Sanglah are not up to Western standards, private hospitals (BIMC, Siloam, International Medical Centre) are reliable, have English-speaking staff, and meet international care standards. They\u2019re more expensive, but better suited for tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What if I get bitten by a dog or monkey?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention immediately. Rabies vaccinations and treatment are available at Bali hospitals, but time is critical. Don\u2019t wait and see\u2014go straight to a clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do I need vaccinations before traveling to Bali?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Routine vaccinations (tetanus, measles, hepatitis A and B) are recommended. Some travelers also get a rabies vaccination, especially if staying long-term or planning to visit rural areas. Ask your doctor before you fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do I find medicine in Bali?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pharmacies (called \u201cApotek\u201d) are everywhere and stock most common medications. Brands may differ, but pharmacists can usually provide the equivalent. Bring a doctor\u2019s note if you need prescription medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What if I need an ambulance?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Call 118 for ambulance service or 112 for general emergencies. Be aware that response times can vary, so if you\u2019re in a tourist area and it\u2019s urgent, it may be quicker to take a taxi straight to the nearest hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is dengue fever really common?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s more common in rainy season and in rural areas. Prevention is key: use mosquito repellent with DEET, sleep with nets if provided, and wear long sleeves at dawn and dusk. If you develop high fever and body aches, get tested right away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out any Google search or Instagram page and you will see that Bali is a tropical mecca of fun, relaxation, partying, shopping and care-free living.
