Just spent about 2 1/2hrs in the clinic getting shots - fun, fun. You'd think it would be a horrible experience but it actually turned out to be pretty entertaining! Not only did I learn that you can die from rabies, but India has the highest number (~20,000) of rabies cases in the world a year, with the next highest being China (~6,000). I also found out that if an ejaculation of sperm were to fill an Olympic size pool, each sperm would be about the same size as a goldfish... ummmmm.... OK!
It was recommended that we get the following shots for wanting to trek through the dirtiest part of the world:
Meningitis
Rabies
Polio
Hepatitis A & B
Malaria Pills
Flu / H1N1
Typhoid
So, 3 shots today, 5 or 6 more to go, plus remembering to fend off those mozzy's, not drink the water or eat the salads and we are free from all sickness for the whole 5 months! ....right?
