Thanks Amity-MaineGirl said:Don't mind him. The DR is very civilized. If you get sick, you will have plenty of good doctors to choose from. You won't get any kind of jungle illnesses. Your regular shots from childhood are sufficient.
When I went to the Amazon region in 2000 I had several shots and had to worry about malaria and other stuff. When I went to the DR the past three visits, I never got sick, just sunburned .
Some people say "don't drink the water" and "don't eat the lettuce" etc. You may get a bad drink or piece of food and vomit for a few days but you WILL live. Remember, as an exchange student, you are bound to get the exchange student flu. Runny nose, sore throat, aches and pains. It will pass and you will be stronger for it.
Oddly enough the worst food I ever had was in France....
