Health safety is a big factor when traveling, even if it doesn’t always come up in conversation. While people may assume that they are always safe when abroad, that may not always be the case. Going to unfamiliar places sometimes means encountering unfamiliar illnesses or health risks. This is something to be conscious of, especially since illnesses can have scary symptoms, have variants, and resurge. One example is the recently confirmed case of a sickness from the early Renaissance era in the United States, the bubonic plague.
