The Risks of Malawi Lake: Things You Need to Know Before Travelling to Malawi - EP. 79

There are several risks to consider when travelling in Africa. One of them is the risk of swimming in Lake Malawi. When I was meeting other travelers, I realized that there is not enough awareness among tourists about Bilharzia, an infection caused by parasitic worms that live in freshwater, including Lake Malawi. The chance of catching this parasite during the first bath is very high. Often you don't have any symptoms for a long time but the parasite can stay in your body for years, causing damage to your bladder, kidneys and liver, causing cancer at worst. Before leaving Malawi, it is very important to see a doctor to get the tablets for Bilharzia. As I was getting treatment for myself, I asked the local doctor a few questions to better understand the problem and to send the message out about the risks of swimming in Lake Malawi or even taking a shower at campsites located by the lake.

In April 2017 I left Australia for a solo trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet” because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.

Throughout my journey, I was raising money for a young disabled child in Poland named Franek. Franek was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (weakness of the entire right side of the body) and he will require constant rehabilitation for the rest of his life. All the money raised will go directly to helping Franek and his family so he can lead a normal life as best as possible, so please donate generously: https://gogetfunding.com/arewethereyet/
