Best practices to prevent catching colds/flu/etc while flying?
by 222fbj, Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM
I am now recovering from the worst flu I can remember ever having. I am sure I got it from the passenger behind me during some recent air travel. I know air travel is going to be somewhat risky since there are so many people in a closed space. But what can I do to protect myself next time? I plan to start getting flu shots.
Would a mask of some sort help?
Should I take some vitamins before/after travelling?
Anything else?
Thanks
