Our company, Passport Health has seen a slight increase in international travel. As we provide immunizations and expert counseling for those traveling overseas, we have noticed that still people are traveling unprepared, undervaccinated and without enough information to protect their health.

In Mexico alone, the number one international destination for U.S. travelers, 50% of Americans who travel there get travelers diarrhea (TD). Not only is this preventable, but roughtly 10% of those with travelers diarrhea will develop chronic postinfectious irritable bowl syndrome (http://www.nature.com/ajg/journal/v100/n3/full/ajg2005125a.html).

Worldwide, there are 20 million cases of TD every year and there are several ways to prevent it.
