DIARRHEA
Most visitors will experience diarrhea at some stage. This may be due to a sensitive stomach or unhygienic cooking conditions. Whatever the case, change your diet to simpler foods and take measures to dehydrate your body. Oral hydration salts are good for this purpose. Usually, it is nothing to worry about but if you get mucus or blood in your stools and the symptoms persist for over a week, you should seek professional help.

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES

AIDS, hepatitis and other sexually transmitted disease do exist in Morocco and “safe sex” isn’t promoted as much as it is in other countries. If it is your intention to practice sexual acts in this country, it is suggested that not only do you practice safe sex, but that you bring numerous condoms. The local condoms are usually weak and old and will not provide adequate protection.

HEALTH INSURANCE

Because of the various potential dangers to your life and health while visiting Morocco, full health Insurance is recommended. However, remember that the majority of these health risks do not affect many tourists and this should not deter you from making a trip to Morocco.

In Morocco; especially as a tourist and depending on your budget you will eat the best and the cleanest food
You might eat at one of the restaurants at The Hyatt Regency Casablanca a 5* hotel and don’t get sick or you may choose to eat a Jamaa Lafna; Marrakech a descent meal and a reasonable price and don’t get sick.
The Moroccan health department is very tough on businesses in direct relation with tourists.

How discussing!
You can get those symptoms just about anywhere in the world if you get stomach poisoning and not just In Morocco.
This is not something attractive to provide someone who is planning to visit Morocco or just browsing your site to get informed with.

Morocco.com said (The local condoms are usually weak and old and will not provide adequate protection).
Now this is really sad, how do you know that those condoms you are talking about are old, weak and will not provide adequate protection?
As far as I know and may be I need to update my information as well; Morocco does not have a local made condoms and all condoms that you can find at any pharmacy or drug store are imported from Europe or the US.
Weak? How did you come up with such a statement? Never mind!
If Morocco is producing condoms now witch I think they are, those condoms must be very tough to meet the Moroccan man requirements.

Morocco.com said: (Because of the various potential dangers to your life and health while visiting Morocco)
What are you talking about?
You are really deterring people from going and visiting Morocco and just for your information Morocco has the lowest percentage when it comes to STD (Sexual transmitted diseases) and it is because of the nature of the country, as a Muslim country the percentage of bisexual people is extremely low knowing that this is the number one of the causing factors for those diseases, injected street drugs are almost non existing in the country.
Most diseases that Moroccans are fighting are non contagious such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart diseases and other that no one visiting Morocco should be concerned about.

Please make the necessary correction because as a Moroccan you are really upsetting me and you will upset many more just after reading your deterring material on this Moroccan site.
Another important change that you need to make is to the Moroccan map on the home page: this map is more than thirty years old and does not include the Moroccan Sahara.
Thank you and best regards.

This site (as with all VCI sites) is supposed to be about an honest appraisal of a country as well as selling it.

Leave the articles as they are - if they piss people off then they can be debated here.

Don't censor health advice for the sake of political correctness

Yeah! You're damn right, Voltaire.

First of all, you are not Moroccan, second how would you know that what Morocco.com is writing about Morocco is an honest appraisal of a country (Morocco) if you haven't been there?

"Don't censor health advice for the sake of political correctness"

I am not asking anyone to censor anything; I am just asking them to revise what they wrote because it is 100% wrong.

I will give you an example about the food control in Morocco; Just in Marrakech, merchants are pissed because the health department is doing a food quality control twice a week without any notice and making tough regulation on them, Ok this is only at one city, one place, Jamaa Lafna.

Check this out: The local condoms are usually weak and old and will not provide adequate protection.
It's coming from Morocco.com and not me.

How would they know that the condoms are old?
Isn't there an expiration date on condoms? How would they know that they are week?

Come on give me a break and instead of telling me Morocco.com is honest about its statements, be honest to your self.... [

What about the 30 years old map? Is that an honest appraisal of a country? a map missing almost half of the country? couldn't they find an updated map?

I suggest browsing through the site that you are moderating its boards to be ready to debate anyone about anything concerning the contents of it.

Morocco.com is making so many contradictions, for example at some pages, article or what ever you name it they say the food is bad and that there is Unhygienic cooking conditions but you go somewhere else in the same site and the say? Treat your taste buds! Morocco boasts a wide variety of restaurants in and around its cities. Visit back regularly for updated lists on French, Italian, Oriental and of course, Traditional Moroccan Restaurants
Most Moroccan food has a very distinct and enjoyable taste, although many cafés, hotels and restaurants also sell French food because of the French influence in the country. This means that you can sit back and savor tasty local cuisine or, if you are not inclined towards foreign tastes, you can visit one of the menu restaurants offering western style foods.

What about this?

It's either Good or Not.
