Whilst found mostly among farmers in the northeastern part of the country, tourists to Thailand need to take care as Melioidosis is caused by a soil bacterium which enters the body through cuts or other breaks in the skin.
Travelers should wear waterproof gloves and shoes or boots whenever coming into contact with soil, especially during the rainy season. Source: Alchealth Did you find this page useful for your work?
