Mission Trip Hygiene and Health
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, especially if you are in a dry or hot climate. Dehydration can lead to various health issues, so aim for 2-3 liters of water per day.
- Use Bottled Water: Stick to purified bottled water whenever not drinking the water served at Rancho Santa Marta or at Foundation for His Ministry.
- Maintain Hygiene: Practice good hygiene by washing your hands regularly and avoiding food from unclean sources.
- Protect Against Insects: Use insect repellent and consider wearing long sleeves and pants to avoid insect bites.
- Rest and Sleep: Ensure you get enough rest before and during the trip to maintain your energy levels.
- Eat Wisely: Avoid raw or undercooked meat and opt for fruits and vegetables when unsure about food safety. Avoid leafy vegetables, because they are often washed in tap water and then served.
- Stray Dogs: They should not be touched at all.
- Hair Contact: Avoid touching your hair to other people’s hair who might have lice.
