Do not wait until you fall asleep. Go and lie down before visual disturbance sets in. If you cannot sleep you can take a sleeping pill, an aspirin if you are in great pain, a tranquilliser if you are upset. EAT Eat regularly. Try to vary your meals. Eat more if you have lost a lot of blood. Drink plenty of water, espe- cially if the weather is hot. On average one loses a little under 3 litres of water a day. In exceptional cases (inten- se heat, vigorous activity), one can lose up to 12 liters ! You can chew salt pills. They help you retain water and limit dehydration. Pay attention to the quality of your food. Use disinfection tablets methodically for your water, or boil it. See that your food is fresh (especially meat and fish). Stomach upsets can be treated with MV44 antispasmodics. If food poisoning is severe, spots may appear on your body. Don't eat too much, either, or you will put on weight and risk suffering from indigestion.
