You must carry a medical kit which should include a cream for bruises, antiseptic whipes or lotions, bandaids for cuts and a good hand sanitizer; furthermore, an insect repellent keeps away the most disturbing insects: use it before starting your excursion. Don't forget to add to your medical kit tampons or menstrual pads and tissues!
