Cheap Travel Guide

There are many germs up there on planes that passengers can catch. Last year after a flight to Europe when I came back I ended up at the doctors office with a weird virus I never encountered before.

According to Ed Hewitt From MSNBC.com,“a recent study says you may be more than 100 times as likely to catch a cold on a plane as in your normal daily rounds, according to a study publishing in the Journal of Environmental Health Research:” Possible culprits could be low humidity, cramped quarters, sharing the same air with other passengers.

How to avoid an airline carrier cold:

1. Stay hydrated-I always do this.
2. Keep your hands clean-This is hard to do if you are are sitting in a middle sit and you have to keep excusing yourself from the person next to you, a sanitizer sounds good to me.
3.Dental Hygiene(like mouthwash)- I always carry this with me.
4. Take your vitamins-I always take these with me also.
5. Wear a mask- This should keep everyone away, passengers will think you have some kind of a contagious disease.
