Travel Unravelled – Details, episodes & analysis

With names like leishmaniasis, myiasis, new world screwworm and gnathostomiasis, parasitic infections can be absolutely the worst souvenir to bring back from any trip. They all come from unwanted hitchhikers that can return with travellers after they explore distant and not-so-distant destinations, turning even the most idyllic trip into a nightmare.

So, how can travellers avoid bringing back unwanted parasitic souvenirs? What should travellers do to minimize the risk of parasitic infection? And what should you do if you suspect you have a parasitic disease?

In this special in-person taping of the Travel Unravelled podcast recorded at the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) 2025 annual meeting in Toronto, moderator Dr. Aisha Khatib is joined by International Society of Travel Medicine president Dr. Anne McCarthy to welcome special guest host Dr. Henry Wu, clinical group president of ASTMH and director of Emory University's TravelWell Center. The two tropical medicine specialists interview Dr. Carlos Seas, Associate Professor of Medicine at Cayetano Heredia University, and Dr. Stephen Vaughan, Clinical Associate Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Calgary. Together, this group brings decades of experience in travel and tropical medicine, sharing expert insights, practical advice, and real-world stories to help travellers stay safe.

Travel insurance is often an afterthought in trip planning. Some travellers skip it altogether. Others buy it without really knowing what they're covered for — or how it works when things go wrong. But when the unexpected happens — like a scooter crash in Bali, a flare-up of a chronic condition in Peru, or an illness in a remote location — travel insurance can be the key to accessing timely medical care and support.

In this episode of Travel Unravelled, we take a closer look at travel health insurance through the lens of clinicians who advise travellers before departure and care for them when things don't go to plan. Whether you're a frequent flyer, a first-time traveller, or a clinician advising patients before departure, this episode offers practical, evidence-informed insights to help everyone travel smarter and safer.

We'll unpack:

• What travel insurance actually covers

• Common exclusions that catch travellers off guard.

• What medical assistance companies can and can't do for a traveller.

• Real-world case studies of denied claims and costly outcomes.

• Travel insurance tips for travellers on how to prepare, what to check, and how to avoid common pitfalls.

ISTM podcast director Dr. Aisha Khatib and digital communications lead Dr. Sarah McGuinness discuss a strange medical case drawn from the pages of the Journal of Travel Medicine. Approximately two billion people around the world are afflicted with toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease that typically results from exposure to cat feces. Most of those infected don't have any symptoms, but in some cases, the disease can cause muscle aches, fever and swollen glands. So is it possible that the Brazilian traveller contracted toxoplasmosis from the pink dolphins of the Amazon river? (A mini episode.)

The most dangerous animal in the world is not the shark or the tiger. It won't stalk you on safari or attack you as you surf.

Tiny but mighty, the mosquito kills more people than any other animal in the world. Why? Because it transmits deadly diseases to humans, such as malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever. Malaria causes more than 600,000 deaths every year—all of which are preventable. In the first episode of Travel Unravelled, Dr. Anne McCarthy and Dr. Albie de Frey dive into the essential facts about malaria.

On the agenda: How to avoid getting malaria, how to prepare before a trip, and what to do if you feel sick in a malaria area. Plus: Why malaria is so tough to diagnose. It's the Battle of the Buzz, and listening to this podcast is your best repellent!

Approximately 50,000 people attempt to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro every year, making Africa's highest peak one of the most popular climbing destinations in the world. But despite the many ambitious climbers, only 60% actually make it to the top. That's likely because many climbers, regardless of age, experience, and fitness level, will face something far more elusive: altitude sickness.

And it's not just the climbers who feel it; millions of tourists at high-altitude destinations ranging from the Andes to the Himalayas are equally at risk.

Headaches, nausea, and gastrointestinal issues are just some of the common symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), a near-universal part of the climbing experience at 3,000 metres above sea level. And unlike other travel illnesses, there's no vaccine for this one. So what's actually helpful to alleviate symptoms? Are preventive medicines like acetazolamide reliable? What about Peru's coca tea or Nepali Pilgrim's black pepper, ginger, and garlic remedy–are any of those effective at all? And is there any value to having oxygen piped into your room?

In this episode, the Travel Unravelled hosts are joined by topic experts Dr. Steven Roy (Canada), Dr. Suman Acharya (Nepal), and Professor Ross Hofmeyr (South Africa) to explore the risk of altitude sickness in travellers: how to prepare for it, and how different cultures and climbers around the world try to prevent or treat it.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 5 million snakebites occur each year, with between 81,000 and 138,000 deaths. A fear of snakes is common. It doesn't help that snakes have long been cast as villains: In Raiders of the Lost Ark, a deadly cobra lurks in an ancient Egyptian temple. In Greek mythology, Medusa's snake mane is her ultimate weapon. And in real life, White Lotus star Walton Goggins recently revealed he was bitten by a snake while filming in Thailand. 

It's no surprise that travellers worry about snakebite. So in the 10th episode of Travel Unravelled, we're exploring how to minimize the risk of envenomation—and providing some tips for travellers and clinicians in the event that they do encounter a bite from a venomous serpent. Here, the Travel Unravelled team of Dr. Albie de Frey, Dr. Sarah McGuinness and Dr. Aisha Khatib benefit from the perspectives of renowned experts Professor David Warrell, the founding director of the Centre for Tropical Medicine at Oxford University, UK and Dr. Bart Currie, leader of the Tropical and Emerging Infectious Diseases team at the Menzies School of Health Research in Darwin, Australia. 

How do you determine snakebite risk at your travel destination? What can you do to minimize snakebite risk? What should you do if you get bitten by a snake? Takeaways that our experts explore include:

• The importance of immobilization and getting to medical care quickly

• The value of a photo of the snake, if safe to obtain

• The fact that not all snakebite victims require antivenom

• And that clinical assessment and observation are crucial in early hospital management
