I would like to draw your attention to some things that are highly desirable to have with you when traveling around Katon.

1. Tick removing devices.
In the spring and early summer, there are a lot of ticks in Katon, and paramedic stations and hospitals are usually quite far from the site where you are bitten, it is better to have everything you need with you. We also recommend that you get vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis.

2. Personal first aid kit.
There are not many pharmacies in Katon and, as a rule, they do not have a very wide range of medicines. Therefore, it is better to have essential medicines with you, including those for chronic diseases.

3. Personal water container
We do not recommend to use plastic. You can always pour water into a container, and leave the plastic one in the city.
