Help.....DS waiting for A2 results and taking a gap year next year as no idea what he wants to do. Is doing 3 month cookery course at local college with a view to finding a job, saving some money and going on a Borneo/rainforest/Belize trip for 6 weeks or so. No problem with this, but am very worried about his peanut and tree nut allergies for which he carries epi pens and has had moderate to severe attacks. In addition the poor guy has asthma/exzema - all in all a very allergic child.......am I wrong to think that remote trip is a seriously bad idea. I don't want to stop him doing something he would love to do, but no point if he's going to struggle with his health.
Can anyone tell me what health care is like on any of these jungle trips and what food is eaten. Contacting the companies doesn't always give you the whole picture.....am I being mad to entertain the whole idea? As with any teenager, he hates the idea of his health preventing him doing something. The army, his preferred career won't take him because of his health!
