Abstract

Why travel? To broaden the mind. Undoubtedly travel also broadens your exposure to tropical diseases. Given the current United Kingdom climate you will have to travel to get a tropical disease. This is easy given sufficient funds. You can be anywhere in the world within 36 hours. A t any one time no less than about 300,000 people are airborne. The average intercontinental jet is airborne for about 17 hours out of 24. And this is a longer proportion of life than for many birds.
