[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'd go but I work in international development and am a bit more used to navigating new and different places than most.

For Bangladesh, I'd be worried a bit about Dengue fever. I'd probably take papaya extract (you can look up the studies) as a precaution, bring top-notch bug spray, and wear long sleeves and pants/covered ankles. Consider using a bed net. I'd also bring antibiotics and/or antivirals, as well as all medicines you might need for any chronic conditions, along with wipes, anti-bacterial hand gel, etc.  Make sure you know your health insurance coverage and what hospitals you would go to if necessary.  Have a flexible return ticket.

Regarding food, the standard precautions apply: if you must eat out, only eat in reliable restaurants and then only cooked foods and bottled drinks; no salads, fruit, water, or ice cubes. Take water purification tablets if there is any chance that water in your husband's family home is unsanitary.

If you are prepared, you are likely to feel less uncomfortable, and who knows, you might have a wonderful experience![/quote]
