Question

What health issues do I need to be concerned about for traveling to Ireland from the US?

Answer 1

No vaccinations required but do dress warmly if your are travelling in winter

Answer 2

No major health risks but two.

1. Major Liver problems. Us Irish People drink something serious and trying to compete with us has left foreigners on the floor collapsed from alcohol.

2. Americanism. In said drinking bouts rather loud Americans and rather irate opinionated Irish folk have been known to have disagreements leading to violence regarding American so called "superiority".

Cures;

1. Avoid drink, water it down or avoid headin' on the session with a group of the lads or lasses.

2. Leave any shred of American arrogance behind at the airport should you be carrying any.

Good luck and welcome to the Emereld Isle!
