What sort of bugs concern you? Cockroaches? Mosquitos bearing malaria or dengue? Fleas carrying plague?

For specific health information, try the websites for CDC or WHO... or ask at the local travel clinic or hospital for tropical diseases. If you're in Belgium, it might be worth a trip to the Netherlands, to the Tropen Institute.

I am going to the local Tropical Institute in a few days, but I thought it might be a quick and helpful way to get the health warnings from people who are in India now, or have just come back. And wonderwomanusa, I don't mean/mind cockroaches and other dirty but harmless bugs, I mean malaria, dengue, encephylitis...

Well, ignorance is absolutely epidemic on the internet. Does that count?

Just get your vaccination shots done. That should be more than enough.
