Travelling is a stressful time; don’t make it worse by
getting sick during your flight! Germs are hiding everywhere on airplanes –
here’s how to stay healthy and comfortable while airborne...
Never walk around
barefoot – Everything from vomit to blood has been on that carpet, so
always wear shoes to avoid the germ-infested floors.
Don’t sit down your
entire flight – It is possible for you to get deep vein thrombosis on an
airplane, so walk around for a few minutes every now and again to prevent it.
Keep the air vent on –
If you’re getting chilly, put on a jacket. The air vent above your seat helps
to blow away any airborne germs before they enter your space.
Don’t eat food that’s
touched the tray table – That tray table definitely does now get sterilized
between flights, so unless you have your own placemat say goodbye to that
pretzel that fell on the tray and not your plate.
Avoid using the
blankets – Wanna know what other item doesn’t get cleaned between flights? The
blankets and pillows you use! Unless you want to be subjected to germs and
lice, never use these.
Don’t forget to drink
water – Airplane cabins are known for their low humidity, so try to drink
as much water as you can. Note: NEVER drink the water out the tap on the plane;
it has been tested to be crawling with bacteria!
Never touch the flush
button – The toilet is a major germ hangout. Your best bet would be to wash
your hands and then use a paper towel to press the flush button and open the
door.
Avoid sleeping
against the window – You’re not the only one who has sat in that seat, who
knows who else has sneezed and coughed against that window.
Don’t add the burden of getting sick to your vacation, use
these steps and avoid the germs and stay comfortable!
