Here are few tips on staying healthy and infection free:

•Always shower within 30 minutes of finishing training

•Wash all training clothes after training and make sure to properly dry them

•Always disinfect then cover any scratches or open wounds/sores

•Don’t scratch mosquito bites – apply a lotion

•If you have any wounds/redness – make sure to watch them and if needed apply an antibiotic cream

•Pharmacies in the area are very aware of infections, so don’t hesitate to ask them

Due to the humidity in Thailand open wounds, scratches and cuts will often take longer to heal. Moisture in the air prevents cuts/wounds from drying out and healing over. This simply means apply the right creams or anti bacterial lotions and then cover the area with tape or strapping.

It’s very important that anyone student with staff, ring worm or any other contagious infection refrain from training or being at the gym until they heal 100%
