As you make your traveling plans, remember that your health is of utmost importance.  It is important to get vaccinated against any diseases that you are likely to catch in your destination. If you’ll be driving, adhere to all traffic regulations as accidents are the leading cause of injuries during the holiday.

Traveling and diarrhoea go hand in hand. This is usually because of change in food and water. The destination background will determine your chances of catching diarrhoea. Younger people tend to be affected more than older ones largely due to lack of acquired immunity and diverse eating habits. If you notice the symptoms, keep yourself hydrated and take an isotonic solution, that is, three level teaspoons of sugar and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a pint of sterilised water. You can easily get anti-diarhoea drugs over-the-counter but if it gets worse, seek medical help. Take some prevention measures by washing hands frequently, especially before meals, handling foods and after visiting the toilet. Get your food and drinks only from trusted sources.

Insect bites are very common when traveling. If the bite causes inflammation, swelling or bruising, it is advisable to seek medical attention as some insects are poisonous.
