Snail Fever Risk at Vacation Hotspots?!

Did you know a deadly parasite called snail fever is popping up in some of the world’s favorite travel spots? Health experts are warning that swimming or wading in freshwater rivers and lakes (not the ocean!) in parts of Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia could expose you to this sneaky bug. The scariest part? You might not even know you’re sick for months, and it can cause serious organ damage. If you’re planning an adventure trip, maybe skip that river swim! #TravelWarning #SnailFever #HealthAlert #AdventureTravel #TravelSmart #Health
