Dr Haja K.
Majeed, member of TN Wakf Board provided the health tips for the pilgrims
“Overcrowding can increase the
risk of infections such as meningococcal disease, influenza and pneumonia.
Diarrheal disease is also common during Hajj due to drinking water or food
becoming contaminated in the crowded and hot conditions. Cardiovascular disease
(such as heart disease and strokes) and heat-related illness are the major
causes of death in travellers to the Hajj.
If you take regular medicines, make sure you take
enough to cover the whole time you will be away and carry a doctor's letter to
avoid confusion at customs.
Health Tips:
1.
Hajj pilgrims should stay well hydrated, wear sunscreen,
and seek shade when possible. Some rituals may also be performed at night to
avoid daytime heat.
2.
Drink water and beverages that are sealed or known to
have been purified, and eat food that is served piping hot or fruit that you
have peeled yourself.
3.
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or
disinfectant hand cleanser.
