Squash the Travel Bug

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.
