Men and women tend to get different illnesses when traveling worldwide. Women are more prone to stomach problems like diarrhea and urinary tract infections, while men have higher risks of fevers from mosquito-borne diseases like malaria and dengue, as well as sexually transmitted diseases. Researchers believe men may attract more mosquitoes due to sweating, washing off insect repellent, while women could be more susceptible to or more likely to seek treatment for gastrointestinal issues.

Women And Men Travelers Tend To Get Different Illnesses “ World travel can make anyone sick but men and women tend to suffer different illnesses with women more prone to stomach problems and men at higher risk of fevers and sexually transmitted diseases.” - Swiss researchers found.

6. What is the reason for sex difference? Not clear. One possibility, according to the researchers, is that men make "more attractive hosts" to mosquitoes because the insects are lured by sweat and excessive sweating also washes off insect repellent.
7. What is the reason for sex difference? As for gastrointestinal ills, women may either be more susceptible to them, or they may be more likely than men to seek treatment for them, according to Schlagenhauf's team.
