Getting sick while traveling or returning from a trip is the worst. Thanks for
the tips.

you get home. My husband suffered with malaria after we got back from an area of South America that
was supposedly malaria-free so we didn’t need to take tablets.

traveling alone! I took a close look at your travel healthcare pouch, so I can be
prepared for any potential illness on the go – it never hurts to be ready!

It’s definitely any traveler’s hell!

Of course, I don’t recommend taking them when not needed! Personally, I try not to even take them back home unless it’s absolutely necessary and after all else fails. It’s just best to have them on you just in case because they’re not easy to get in so many places. A friend of mine had to learn that the hard way when we were traveling together for work – we both got sick but she took the wrong medication (wasn’t effective) and ended up needing antibiotics and we went through hell trying to get her the help she needed.

It’s hard to listen to our bodies during such times but it’s very important because if we don’t, it’ll only get worse and we’ll end up wasting more vacation days.

Good thinking! Yes, dragging yourself out of bed when feeling sick is definitely one of the hardest parts!
