Yahsi: local notes for conjunctivitis (pink eye)
In Yahsi the typical health problems come from too much sun, too little water and food that has sat out in the heat. Other places within reach include Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye. Shared pool water, sunscreen in the eyes and shared towels spread eye infections in hotels. Use your own towel and wash hands before touching your eyes.
