Wow! that's scary. I mean, I heard there is no treatment. I have two problems here. One is I don't have any medical insurance (I know how stupid that is, but I only planned coming to the beach for a few weeks), and the other is that I have ... Read More

Thanks. That gives me a good idea. Ideally I want to be able to swim in the ocean every morning and go for long walks along the beach. A crowded beach would not be suitable for that. Daytime would be lazing about on my laptop / reading etc. At night ... Read More
