Traveling and the Need for Medical Flight Transportation

---

Traveling and becoming sick seem to go hand and hand. Whether you travel by car, air, train or cruise, there are bacterial germs all around us. How do you prevent yourself from getting sick when your travel domestically or abroad? Air Critical Care explores the options on how to prevent you and your family from getting sick while traveling- but if you do get sick and need medical transport, Air Critical Care transportation services are available to you in Every City, Every State & Every Country Worldwide for immediate ground and air transportation.  
Here are a few basic health tips to keep in mind while traveling:

• Only pack non-perishable snacks
• Bring alcohol hand sanitizer to use regularly during travel
• Pack a first aid kit in case of small emergencies
• Refrain from storing medications in your car because heat and humidity are likely to alter their strength & potency
• Sanitize tray tables, as they are highly ridden with bacteria and certain viruses
• Wash your hands whenever possible
• Make sure that you and your family’s vaccinations are up-to-date
• When traveling abroad, avoid high-risk locations such as live animal & poultry markets
• Avoid undercooked shellfish, seafood & meat
• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated
• Do not leave food out in hot weather for more than an hour
• Be aware of any contagious viruses present in other countries when traveling abroad
