Brazil pre-port song
 
How do you get health information to 800 students and faculty to help them stay healthy in a foreign port?  First - you need their attention.....
 
Here are the lyrics (more fun to listen first...)
 
Salvador Pre-Port Health Briefing – by Dr Matt et al
 
Somewhere deep in the Jungle
Mosquitoes fly
Those malaria carriers
Think you’re their blood supply  
 
    DEET - we recommend DEET
    Malarone, Larium and Doxy
    Thwart those bugs, defeat their Moxy
    D-E-E-T combined with meds
    No bug bites
 
All through lovely Brazil
There’s food to eat
Danger lurks in the lettuce
Ice cubes and fruit you buy
 
    Pepto - we’re talkin’ ‘bout Pepto    
    No diarrhea problems there
    Nor upset stomachs in despair
    Thats P-E-P-T-O Bismol
    Pepto - Bismol
 
In Rio de Janeiro town when Carnival is alllll around you
The drinking dancing never stops
and sexual inhibitions drop
But STDs surround you
 
    Condoms - lets talk about condoms
    No unportected sex out there
    No STDs for you to share
    Thats C-O-N-D-O-M-S
    Thats Condoms
 
If you’re out in the sunshine
At the Beach
And you’re underprotected
Blisters and burns compete
        
    Sunscreen - its all about sunscreen
    Its slippery slimy goopy gunk
    That helps avoid the post burn funk
    That’s S-P-F more than 15
    That’s Sun-screen
