These ulcers can be caused by different bacteria, but two of these are especially important to mention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span>The first one is a Treponema pallidum subspecies, which leads to a disease called yaws. Vanuatu is one of the very few countries, where yaws remain endemic. It leads to chronic ulcers on the skin, and if left untreated, it can affect the cartilage and bone and can lead to deformations. The second is Haemophilus ducreyi, which leads to similar skin lesions as yaws and you need laboratory tests to be able to differentiate. Both bacteria are known as sexually transmittable diseases in big parts of the world, but in Vanuatu and some other countries, especially in the Pacific region, their subspecies lead to chronic skin infection and are transmitted by simple skin contact with the bacteria, which can happen for example by traveling on public transport, staying in a homestay or wherever where your skin can be exposed to the bacteria. Is there anything you can do to prevent that? Not really, but the important is to recognize that you have a skin ulcer, to make laboratory tests in order to sort out which bacterium causes it and to start to take antibiotics in order to treat it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/doctorglobetrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2527-scaled.jpg&#8221;

The contact occurs mainly when someone gets into contact with water or soil contaminated with infected animals&#8217; urine. The bacteria can enter through the mouth, nose, eyes, or breaks and wounds on the skin. The symptoms can vary between mild (fever, muscle pain) and serious (bleeding into the lungs, meningitis).<\/div>\n<div>Leptospirosis can occur anywhere around Vanuatu, any time during the year, but it is mainly in the periods after heavy rainfalls and cyclones when the number of infections rises.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What can you do to prevent Leptospirosis?<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0&#8211;

If you plan to explore non-touristy areas, I strongly recommend carrying your own disinfectant lotion for the hands, toilet paper, and anything else you need.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the other side, typical food you can find in rural areas (boiled taro, manioca, island cabbage, laplap) are cooked on the same day at high temperatures and consumed within a maximum of a couple of hours, so getting a stomach infection from these meals is pretty much improbable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I got my worst stomach infection not in isolated villages or street food places, but in a 4-star hotel.
