Three years ago, I went to Malaysia and Singapore, armed with an exotic array of inhalers for asthma (Pulmicort, Serevent and Oxis), plus my own portable nebuliser equipped with vials of Ventolin.
I had a note from my GP, explaining this array of inhalable white powders and liquids.
Not once did I ever need to produce that note. No one batted an eyelid.
Now, my medication is far less severe and different anyway (Symbicort and Bricanyl, rarely used) and I wonder...
Do I really need to obtain a GP note again? Or will their original packaging and prescription stub be enough?
Also, Mosquitos. I know SQFG has mentioned and used a mozzi coil, but I'm more interested in applied repellents......recommendations?
I know DEET based is the way to go, but last time I used Jungle Formula 50% DEET and, frankly, I did not (nor my travelling companions) appreciate choking on the stench of it, nor the burning sensation upon application.
I know Malaria isn't a massive issue give my locations, but it's the whole biting thing and that Mozzies don't just carry malaria these days.......
