Americans are starting to plan their summer travels, so doctors will be seeing more patients. Travel exposes tourists and residents to communicable diseases. Vacationers can still enjoy the sun and sand with just a bit of preparation.

Although many people believe that germs can spread from planes, in reality, normal airflow is greater than that of an office building. Pillows and blankets are not a problem for patients. These items are cleaned thoroughly between flights to prevent contamination.

The airplanes help germs spread in different ways. Although the cabin’s air is not stale or dry, it is fresh. This desert-like atmosphere can dry out the mucus membranes of passengers, increasing their vulnerability to infection. Keep your body hydrated with bottled water.

Passengers have the option to eliminate any germs found in their eyes, nose, mouth or mouth. MyClyns, an alcohol-free germ-protection product, can be used to spray the eyes, nose, mouth and minor cuts. This kills germs prior to they can cause infection. MyClyns germ protection spray is a long-standing tool for first responders and health professionals.

“The skin is an amazing organ and does a wonderful job protecting us,”Donald Locasto, Medical Director of Cincinnati Fire Department and Professor of Emergency Medicine at University of Cincinnati, said the following: “But germs are given a fast track to enter when we touch our eyes, nose, mouth or an open wound. You can’t spray hand sanitizer into your eyes — its active ingredient is essentially alcohol.”

Hand sanitizer is an essential item for all air travelers. Although it is recommended that passengers wash their hands often, there is no guarantee that the water will be safe. To avoid contamination, travelers should wash their hands with soap, water, and then use hand sanitizer.

You can reduce your risk as an air traveler by asking for a replacement seat if you are placed next to someone who is sick, limiting alcohol and caffeine, and making sure they are well-rested and healthy before taking off.

Dr. Locasto says that precautions are important. “the only malady this year’s savvy travelers will be afflicted by is a longing for a bit more time off.”
