3.0

This book focused more on travel health than on the practicalities of using the various 'personal' equipment found in various regions. I was sort-of looking forward to reading about German 'shelf toilets' or those nasty hybrid sitter/squatters. There is a chapter or two delicately covering these oddities, but for practicalities, [b:How to Shit in the Woods|77377|How to Shit in the Woods An Environmentally Sound Approach to a Lost Art|Kathleen Meyer|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388251375s/77377.jpg|74764] was much more useful and informative for the act itself.

That said, Wilson-Howarth covers various food-borne illnesses in great (and sometimes gross) detail, and discusses prevention and treatment with expertise. There's a chapter for women's health, one for children, and one for seniors. This is a good reference for heavy travelers and adventurous eaters.
