Hellooo~ It’s Icey here, and I’m about to take you on an adventure of a lifetime!
### Preparations Before Entering the Amazon Rainforest
What did I do to get ready for this incredible journey? Let me break it down for you.
**💉 Health & Vaccinations**
If you’re a student in North America, double-check whether your health insurance covers the yellow fever vaccine. Even though no one may ask for proof, it’s always wise to be safe. For most plans (like JHU’s), the vaccine is covered—so make sure to confirm that beforehand.
**👕 Clothing: Your First Line of Defense**
Did you know mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors? Opt for light-colored, long-sleeved shirts and pants instead. To go the extra mile, invest in insect-repellent clothing. Brands like InsectShield are game-changers—you can find them easily on Walmart or Amazon. Trust me, your skin will thank you later.
