How not to get sick while traveling: tips from doctors who travel frequently

ObozrevatelNews

A couple of world-traveling doctors who spend their days exploring new places have revealed their top tip for avoiding illness while traveling.

Meabh and Danny, two emergency physicians from Ireland and Scotland, respectively, moved to Australia in 2021, where they met in Byron Bay. The couple regularly shares their nomadic lifestyle on Instagram, having visited 41 destinations together. This time, they told us what to do to avoid getting sick while traveling.

Their top tips include: trusting local food outlets that are crowded, washing your hands before every meal, not touching your phone or money until after the meal, and always carrying antibacterial gel when there is no hand-washing tap.

"Enjoying a variety of food is one of the best things about traveling. Don't be afraid of old wives' tales. Wash your hands, eat local food, and enjoy the experience! But if you get sick, it's better to see a doctor," they advise.

Even if you are very careful, there is still a chance to encounter poorly prepared food or get sick in other ways. It is recommended to consult a medical professional before traveling to make sure that all necessary precautions, such as vaccination, are taken.
