BEFORE you head to that long-planned summer getaway, here are some simple and effective tips to make your vacation memorable and trouble-free.
I find this health tips from the Department of Health useful for any given season or occasion.
Some known summer conditions known to men include food and water-borne diseases. These are:
1. Typhoid

• Sore Eyes

Handling Food and drinks
• Cook food properly
• Preferably, food must be eaten immediately after cooking (while still hot)
• Leftover food should be refrigerated and reheated before being eaten
• Food handlers should wash their hands before and after food preparation
• If sick, avoid preparing food for others
• Avoid drinking water and iced beverages of doubtful quality
• If water quality is doubtful, boil drinking water for at least 2 minutes
• Peel and wash fruits / vegetables before eating
• Wash hands before and after eating
At the beach
• Do not allow children to swim without the company of an adult
• Avoid staying under the sun without scanty clothes for more than 3 hours as this predisposes to sunburn, heat exhaustion and worst, heat stroke
• Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration, especially during exercise & sports activities
While on the road
• Check vehicle well before going on a trip
• Bring repair kit with you
• When drunk, never attempt to drive
Now, don’t forget to bring extra clothes with you and oh your camera, too! Have fun!
