Infectious disease may be the least of your worries, sadly.

Please excercise extreme caution. At least 17 more people, including two children, died over the last 2 days in killings from sporadic firefights involving ultra-right and leftist gunmen locked in Colombia's long-running war. Now, more than 35,000 people, mostly all civilians, have died over the last 10 years as a result of this civil conflict.
