Mr Nick does Ramadan

[Nick]

If you stay more than a few days, you will get sick in Morocco.  Yes, I can say that with confidence.  Oh it won't be bad, probably just some diarrhea, but you can't avoid it.  There are too many ways for the strange Moroccan bacteria to find you.  The best thing you can do for this is buy some Imodium at a pharmacy when you get there (it's cheaper). The sun is almost always strong so bring your favorite sunscreen and drink frequently. Try to stay in the shade on hot days.
More serious ailments are dysentery, intestinal parasites and malaria.  Either consult with your physician for prescriptions for these diseases (you must start malaria treatment before you leave), or pickup something at the Moroccan pharmacy as needed (they have everything).

Just been out and bought some Immodium, like.

Pharmacist asked after my symptoms. I said I was fine. He asked who it was for. I said me, I am going to Morocco.

*Ah," he said. "You will need these then."

Label reads: Fast Acting, Extra Strength

From a Cyprus forum today.....

"Having decades ago visited, and vowed never to return to, Tunisia and Morocco, I have read nothing in this thread which would make me want to add Egypt to my bucket list "

 

[Nick]

You think I might need a bucket too? 

[Grumpmeister]

I'd say borrow BM's but the rest of us need it more than you do..... 




Anyhoo, given Nick's natural skills at diplomacy and the fact that his luck tends to run along the lines of a hyperactive squirrel on far too much LSD who wants to give odds on Nick having a fatwa issued against him by the end of his holiday?
