Geoff, does this sound familiar? It came from someone’s travel diary I came across as I was searching:

“We had a few hairy moments during our last few days in South America! On Tuesday Clare went into anaphylactic shock and I had to rush her to the doc’s. It was pretty scary as she has never reacted to anything like that before and we still don’t know what it was. The doctors were fab and very hygienic, and thankfully she got better pretty quickly but it was a little scary for a while there!”

Apparently, as well as having antihistimine pills in your pouch, you should have self injecting adrenalin for future emergencies!
You should be able to buy this at a chemist in Thailand without prescription; or ask at the hospital.
I thoroughly recommend buying one before leaving Chiang Mai!
The site I looked at said, if problems arise:
Take an antihistamine (25-50 mg tablets or capsules of Benadryl by mouth) if you can swallow without difficulty.
If you are wheezing or having difficulty breathing, use a bronchodilator (borrow Geoff’s ventolin)
If a reaction of the entire body has been present, you should be given a prescription for a self-injecting epinephrine device when you leave the hospital. Inject yourself with a premeasured, prescription dose of epinephrine. Known as EpiPen or Ana-Kit (epinephrine), these self-administered medications are easily and rapidly injected into the thigh muscle. This is extremely effective and fast acting. Anyone who has experienced a prior anaphylactic reaction should carry these kits.

So there you are. I send this in an email but I’m not sure if you got it.

will read the e-mails next time Mam as havn’t got them yet.

Phew feeling relieved that Tan is ok now.

Gonna try to work out how to get inside an adapter that doesn’t have any screws to open it. Ridiculous design I say!!

Jul: stay as long as you like if you don’t mind finding your own way to Bali!!taxi from airport to ko san road should be around 60 B – don’t pay if they try to charge you more or take you to the wrong place!!!

Otherwise if you want us to come and get you, we’ll be in south THailand until about 20th-25th June.
