We are traveling with a 10-year-old child on an autumn vacation in tangerine beach. After reading all the reviews, I began to think: is it worth it to go at all? Terribly afraid of crawling reptiles. People write about how snakes lie curled up in the grass. Someone tell me this is not true. What are the dangerous creatures in the ocean? I would be grateful for an answer

On the territory of hotels and towns, except for monkeys and geckos (small lizards, absolutely harmless), no one was seen. Sometimes monitor lizards ran through, but they themselves do not approach people and it is not necessary to climb to them. We saw snakes only when we went to the jungle on excursions, there are quite a lot of them, it’s better not to go there without a guide. In the ocean, we saw only beautiful fish on the reefs in Trincomal, well, turtles sometimes swam up to the beach. Ju ... Farther...

1. The idea of ​​dividing the vacation into two parts: cognitive and beach, is very sound. 2. The central part of Sri Lanka is a region with interesting places: Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Dambulla, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya. It makes no sense to settle in one place, it is most reasonable to spend the night every time in the city where sightseeing is planned in the morning. 3. No need to flirt with "inexpensive housing" in Sri Lanka, this is not Thailand for you. It is better to overp ... Farther...
Sorry, if my question is out of the general theme, but nevertheless, I dare to ask. A couple of times when I came out of the sea, I had a burning sensation in small areas of the skin. After a couple of hours, the burning sensation subsided, but a medium-sized red rash appeared. It was all gone in about a day. How much I didn’t peer into the water, I didn’t see jellyfish there (like they said that they didn’t exist in Middle-earth?), write off contact allergies from small pinches of local fish - the same is somehow too much. Everything would be trifles, but only after arriving home, I was again sprinkled in the same locations. Now I’m thinking - just wait until it passes, stomp to a dermatologist, or just someone encountered something similar in Middle-earth and knows what it could be?

There are a lot of jellyfish in the Mediterranean Sea! They may be so small that you can't even see them. It is strange that the houses were sprinkled again. Try to drink diazolin or another anti-allergic drug, if it does not help, you will have to go to a dermatologist. Z.Y. And by the way, algae are also not harmless. In one hotel in Kemer, a colony of such toxic algae spread on ropes that held the buoys. Half the hotel was walking around with burns, and the staff warned not to grab the buoys ... Farther...

Good evening, I was in Sri Lanka two months ago and upon arrival home I had a rash (similar to mosquito bites), the doctor said I had an allergy, I drank a course of pills, two weeks later it happened again, our doctors say allergy, but no pills, no hospital helped. The second month, rashes appear mainly on the legs. There are a couple more messages on the Internet with the same symptoms in people who have vacationed in Sri Lanka. Help me please. WHAT IT IS? I was going to Sri Lanka again in November, but until I get better I don’t even think about the trip. I really hope for your help. THANK YOU.

I don't think you will be helped here. Because need a specialist + to see the patient. In this situation, you should collect previous test results, doctor's notes and make an appointment with a dermatologist to begin with. Or, in addition to it, also to a parasitologist and an allergist. Farther...
