Getting sick should be the least of your worries when trying to enjoy your vacation. So, to avoid ruining your next trip, here are a few of the common travel health topics that you should look out for.
Bug Bites
Most bugs, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and even some flies can spread various diseases. And, unfortunately, some of these diseases cannot be prevented by pre-vaccination. So, here is what you should do.
Use sunscreen! Anything above SPF 15 is a great choice! Especially, if you have kids, look for "blocks UVA and UVB" or "broad spectrum" on the bottle.
Sunscreen works better if applied to skin about 20 minutes prior to sun exposure. This will allow the sunscreen to settle on the skin and become fully active when it feels the sun. And reapply ever 2 hours!
Be safe and have fun on your next vacation! See more At Traveler's Health!
