It’s classic: You return from a trip, only to come down with a cold. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Use a simple trick during your flight to help prevent illness.
Doctors report cold and flu bugs adhere to and breed in dry nasal cavities—which makes arid airplane cabins particularly dangerous.
On your next trip, fight back by hydrating this area: Pack a small bottle of saline solution or a nasal mist (not a drying nasal decongestant spray) and use often to up your chances of arriving home healthy.
