Mosquitoes and Insect Bites

Malaria transmission occurs throughout Indonesia all year but the risk in Bali is so low that antimalarials are not generally recommended for most tourists. Nevertheless for those visiting Lombok (overnight visits) the risk exists and so adequate antimalarial medication and insect repellents should be used.

Other mosquito borne diseases also occur throughout Indonesia and care must be taken to avoid insect bites at all times.

In Jakarta and other main cities there is a particular problem with a viral disease called Dengue Fever. The mosquito, which transmits this disease, typically bites during the day and in main urban centres.

Travellers should have a good insect repellent containing DEET such as TMB DEET 55, wear long sleeves to cover your arms and long trousers, if possible choose an air-conditioned room, keep doors and windows closed and avoid using perfumes and aftershaves.

Food & Water

It is wise to maintain a high level of care with regard to your food and water while in Bali and Indonesia. This includes even those in high quality hotels but also particularly for those eating from street vendors. Bivalve shellfish (e.g. oysters, mussels, clams etc) should be avoided at all times due to inadequate cooking. Bottled water should be purchased from your hotel or good quality shops/supermarkets to ensure that it is pure.

Local Customs

The laws against illegal drugs are severe and travellers should ensure that they carry sufficient well-marked medication that they may require for their time in Bali and Indonesia. Travellers are required to show identification at any time and so carrying photocopies of your passport is a wise precaution. Keep all valuable documents in a safe place and do not flaunt personal wealth while travelling around the island.
