It’s the season for travel and no matter if you’re doing it for business or pleasure the last thing you want to have happen is to get sick. There are some things to keep in mind when traveling so that you can stay healthy. As a rule don’t drink the local water, stick with bottled water. Don’t forget that the ice cubes in drinks could be made from tap water. Wash your hands frequently and carry hand sanitizer with you in case you have no place to wash them. Illness is most commonly spread from hand to nose contact. It’s also important to get enough rest while traveling.
