Whether you’re taking planes, trains, or automobiles, November is one of the busiest travel months of the year. Winter is also when most of the respiratory viruses thrive. Nothing makes a trip worse than getting sick en route.
FOLLOW THESE TIPS TO DEFEND AGAINST GERMS:
- Get enough sleep and stay hydrated before you leave.
- Wash your hands often and carry hand sanitizer.
- When going through airport security and you have to take your shoes off, make sure to have socks on or readily available. Don’t walk barefoot.
- Try and reserve your seat near the front of the airplane when flying.
- If you are staying in a hotel, take a look around the room. If it doesn’t smell fresh or you see water stains on the ceiling, request another room or find another hotel.
