Going abroad for holidays is fun and exciting, but falling sick or hurting yourself in a foreign country not only ruins the holiday but can create a lot of problems for you both at the holiday destination and back home. Here are 8 tips to prevent yourself from contracting some of the most common holiday ailments.

1. Diarrhea
Majority of tourists who contract diarrhea are infected by germs. Most of these people feel the effects of diarrhea 5 days after they reached their holiday destination because they ate something that did not agree with them or the water was contaminated. Upon contracting diarrhea, one should avoid eating anything from between 8 to 12 hours. Milk must also be avoided. In the meantime, you can drink one kl of water with 1 tablespoon of sugar added to it to replenish the water in your body.

2. Ear Infection
Some air passengers tend to feel discomfort in their ear when the plane takes off or lands. If it's serious, they may even contract acute ear infection. To prevent this condition, you can do a little exercise before the plane takes off or lands. Take a deep breath, shut your mouth and pinch your nose lightly to close your nostrils, then blow hard to force open your mouth and nostrils. This will prevent your ears from getting blocked. Do not try this if you are having a cold or runny nose.

3. Motion Sickness
This condition varies for different people. Light symptoms include dizziness, and serious symptoms include vomiting, nausea, cold sweat or even fainting. To prevent this condition, choose to sit in the middle or front of the plane or carriage.

4. Eye damage
Many people believe that the darker the lenses of your dark glasses, the greater its ability to protect your eyes. However, if the lenses are too dark, your pupils will be enlarged in order to allow more light to enter so you can see properly, and as a result, the amount of UV rays that enters your eyes increases too, causing damage to your eyes. Appropriate lenses should be permeable to 30% of visible rays to prevent the green and gray tones in UV rays from entering the eyes.

5. Foot blisters
After walking for long hours, your feet are prone to blisters. If they are not treated with care, they may give way to infection. When you walk, keep your speed constant and put your foot firmly to the ground with each step to prevent your feet from blistering. If you do get blisters, never attempt to burst them because it will be prone to infection. Keep it under a clean bandage that is changed everyday until it disappears.

6. Sensitive skin in pubic areas
Skin in public areas which have been freshly-shaven are more sensitive than usual. Avoid entering the swimming pool for preferably 3 days after shaving.

7. Skin Problems
Many girls would do a bikini wax before going down to the *BLEEP*. However, the skin usually needs 48 hours for full recovery. If hairless skin is suddenly exposed under the sun, it may become red and irritated. It is preferable to wait at least 2 days before suntanning after waxing.

8. Burnt hair
If you love to suntan, remember not to neglect your hair while you smear liberal amounts of sunblock over the rest of your body. Hair conditioner does not constitute a sufficient protection as it will only protect your hair from damp heat and not dry heat. Heat from the sun and oil from your hair conditioner will cause your hair to be burnt even more easily. Do apply sunblock to your hair instead.
