I doubt most tourist hunters would have much use for a lot of the things in the book, but there is actually quite a bit that can come in handy in daily life for that matter. So I have no problem recommending it to people who are a little more than casually interested in being able to take care of themselves or others.

I remember sitting on a beach on Lake Malawi having a rest for a couple of days before we pushed on, reading with a group of people a book similar to this one. It listed all the different African diseases, their symptoms, rememedies etc.

One of the "best" was an incurable itching disease in West Africa where many victims killed themselves in anguish!

Reading that book while morbidly fascinating did make one feel sick.
