No pesticides, no genetically modified organisms,
no urban pollution, no noise pollution, no billboards,
no condos.
Tanna's fresh vegetables are free of poisons and very
tasty. Tanna coffee is one of the best coffees you'll
ever enjoy - especially when fresh ground and sipped
only a few kilometres from where it was grown and roasted.
There are fish and lobster in the sea that will fill
you with energy and health. Tanna Beef is so tender you
can cut it with a fork.
The sea water is as clear as sea water can be.
The fresh water at Friendly Bungalows comes from a deep
spring fed well. It is delicious - straight up from mother
earth - and piped directly into your accommodation..
The tradewinds, blowing straight in from the sea at
Friendly Bungalows, keep down the flies and mosquito
population as well as directing ash from
the Volcano away to the west and northwest.

Tanna people are robust and healthy. The
strange diseases of the outside world do not originate
here.
But there are local diseases. Some fevers transmitted by mosquitoes can be very bad. Flies can carry
a very potent form of staph and zoom in on every exposed
wound. There is a stinging nettle tree that you need
to avoid..
Bring and wear a good mosquito repellant. Bring and
use band-aids and dress every wound quickly. Watch your
step when walking, wear shoes when wading on the reef,
and wear a hat, sun glasses and sunscreen. Take a bottle
of water with you when you go wandering.
If you do these simple things, you won't need to worry
about your health at all in Tanna.
