Alert, aircraft Potentially So 'Warehouse Disease'

Sydney - What could be more dangerous for a tourist? Accidents in foreign countries? Diarrhoea due to wrong eating?

Apparently, part of the most dangerous for tourists aircraft users, the risk of danger not on land.

News.com.au quoted from the diseased becomes a higher risk for those who abroad compared to the risk of injury. Worse, it actually contracted the disease through a touch screen in an aircraft.

It was revealed through a terrible picture of the insurance company Southern Cross Travel Insurance (SCTI) in Australia. Apparently, fever and flu is most circumstances suffered by travelers, then digestive problems and food poisoning.

About 1 in 5 people forecast to be sick while he was abroad. Among the ill, about 60% require medical assistance. On the other hand, only about 7% of travelers were injured due to accidents or carelessness.

Ironically, the transmission of the virus even in aircraft.

Craig Morrison, CEO at SCTI, said that budgets are tight and air tight schedule made not as clean as in the past.

"The air in aircraft is cleaner than most of the buildings but the disease is transmitted through the trays, armrest, screen TV, and toilets are dirty," said Morrison.

"If the airlines are under pressure to hastily prepare the aircraft, the crew cleanliness can not be tasked with carefully-so do not be concerned with what is inhaled, khawatirlah with what is being

touched."

According to him, bring sanitary hand wipes or anti-bacterial that can prevent transmission.

"Keep your hands off your face," advises Morrison again.

Country of the most frequently affected transmission is the United States, at the same place with the highest insurance claims because of medical bills.

She said, "The figure is much lower between Australia and New Zealand, after only 3 hours to be in flight."

The worst place related injuries are Bali and Thailand. There, Australians become complacent and try to "recalcitrant". For example, "Australians are more often injured when his intention is inconsiderate holiday in Bali."

He continued, "This is the recipe that we witnessed the injury and the claim was awful, especially on matters that occurred after midnight."

According to Jennie Small, senior lecturer in tourism at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) says this type of holiday and tourist itself play a role in the risk of injury.

"In a place like Bali, the tourists see people renting a motorbike and in his mind lowering the level of risk than they should be," said Small.

"They do not want to ride a motorcycle without a helmet in his own country, but riding without a helmet in Bali because it saw it as an opportunity and completely forget the risk."
