T+L TIPS: HOW TO STAY HEALTHY ON PLANES
Avoid touching your face. If someone near you—in your row or directly in front of or behind you—is coughing or sneezing, inquire about changing seats. Don't walk around the plane too much; it increases your contact with other people. Use a nasal mister filled with filtered water, such as the MADomizer (www.entspray.com) or Entsol's refillable bottle (www.entsolwash.com); this makes your cilia, your built-in filters against microbes, work more effectively. Use alcohol wipes—such as BD Alcohol Swabs, available in pharmacies—on your hands and any surfaces that you'll be touching frequently, including the armrest and tray table.
