By saying that, you will scare him.
There's nothing to be afraid of, nobody will just want to kill you or poison....just be aware that some street vendor food or un-hygeinic food can make you sick, so choose your selection of food wisely. I would recommend getting a Typhio Shot before going there, that's to help your body deal with food over there cus it's not the same as the food here.
LOL.... NOT Scared... Yet. Good lead off to our next Topic...
***Medical Exam and Shots for Laos***
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) The following Vaccinations are recommended for Laos.
http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/laos.htm#vaccinesRoutine - Recommended if you are not up-to-date with routine shots, such as measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) vaccine, poliovirus vaccine, etc.
Hepatitis A or immune globulin (IG) - Recommended for all unvaccinated people traveling to or working in countries with an intermediate or high level of hepatitis A virus infection (see map) where exposure might occur through food or water. Cases of travel-related hepatitis A can also occur in travelers to developing countries with "standard" tourist itineraries, accommodations, and food consumption behaviors.
Hepatitis B - Recommended for all unvaccinated persons traveling to or working in countries with intermediate to high levels of endemic HBV transmission (see map), especially those who might be exposed to blood or body fluids, have sexual contact with the local population, or be exposed through medical treatment (e.g., for an accident).
Typhoid - Recommended for all unvaccinated people traveling to or working in Southeast Asia, especially if staying with friends or relatives or visiting smaller cities, villages, or rural areas where exposure might occur through food or water.
Japanese encephalitis - Recommended if you plan to visit rural farming areas and under special circumstances, such as a known outbreak of Japanese encephalitis, see country-specific information.
Rabies - Recommended for travelers spending a lot of time outdoors, especially in rural areas, involved in activities such as bicycling, camping, or hiking. Also recommended for travelers with significant occupational risks (such as veterinarians), for long-term travelers and expatriates living in areas with a significant risk of exposure, and for travelers involved in any activities that might bring them into direct contact with bats, carnivores, and other mammals. Children are considered at higher risk because they tend to play with animals, may receive more severe bites, or may not report bites.
I had my checkup last week with my doctor... I was told to get the H1N1 flu shot and a booster shot. I have been a good boy and was up to date on everything else.
