Adjusting to SA Environment When traveling abroad, you always have to be ready for extreme or unfamiliar conditions. You might have an upset stomach or other digestive problems in the first few days as your body gets adapted to the climate and the food. Here are a few tips to help you adjust.
Take it easy for the first few days or a week. Your body will need to rest if it is to adapt to local conditions.
Get enough sleep.
Wash your hands often and avoid rubbing your eyes in order not to come in contact and be infected with various viruses.
Medication for headaches, colds, upset stomach, minor injuries, and other ailments is readily available in the United States. It is not always advisable to bring medication from home into the United States since some restrictions apply. The pharmacist at any drugstore can assist you in finding medication for your needs.
If you are going to a warm area, wear a hat on sunny days to avoid sunstroke, use sunscreen to protect your skin against sunburn, and drink a lot of liquids (nonalcoholic and without caffeine) to prevent dehydration.
Contact your international student adviser to find the location of the nearest medical clinic. Most universities maintain a health clinic on campus.
