Even among travelers who undergo evaluation in travel medicine clinics, illnesses develop despite the emphasis placed on prevention. It is possible that travel-associated disease rates may be modified by maximizing access to care and augmenting educational methods of disease prevention. Use of alternative preventive measures such as alcohol hand gel sanitizers may also alter illnesses among travelers.
