NORTH KOREA COUNTRY HANDBOOK

■ Maintain as strict a standard of personal hygiene as possible at all
times. One of the best ways to stay healthy when in an unsanitary
environment is to frequent handwashing, particularly prior to meals,
toothbrushing, or touching the eyes/face. Any open cuts or scrapes
should be treated with disinfectant and cleaned repeatedly until
healed. Sanitary disposal of human waste, fly control, and enforced
handwashing should be priority measures in the field.
■ See a medic if you are sick. Report to appropriate medic if diarrhea,
cough, fever, weakness, or any symptom that can’t be explained are
noted.
