Traveling for the holidays? Here’s how to avoid getting sick

Has your holiday ever been totally ruined because you got sick on the way to grandma’s house? It happens to the best of us. You are working so hard to get everything done before you head home for the holidays that you neglect yourself. Instead you focus on buying the perfect presents and disentangling snarled holiday lights (which is impossible). All of that comes on top of your already hectic schedule. Worst of all, precisely when you’re at your most overwhelmed, you have to pack the whole family onto an airplane. All of you are tired and cranky and then you get trapped in a plane with dozens of total strangers and all their germs. For several hours. No surprise what happens next.
