Millions of people board planes, cruise ships, buses and other modes of transportation every day. While most people envision bringing home souvenirs from their vacations or working on their suntans, others acquire a less-favorable memento: illness. Thanks to jet lag, recycled air and/or potentially unclean native waters, travelers may be vulnerable to illness on their trips. But that vulnerability does not mean they have to succumb to illness.
Some effective ways to avoid getting sick while traveling include getting vaccinated before traveling, bringing along sanitizer, avoiding tap water and instead sticking to bottled water, avoiding uncooked fruit and produce, ensuring food is thoroughly cooked, and protecting against the sun and heat.
