Air travel advice

[Guest guest]

Before I say this remember that there are probably only a handful of

physicians who would say to take medications before you get sick.

Having said that, I tried experiments on myself. One plane trip I wore

a mask from the time I left my car until after I reached my hotel. I

was treated by everyone I came in contact with like I had the plaque or

something, which was fine with me, they kept their germs to themselves.

I washed and santizied my hands after I touched anything. I did not

get my usual bad bronchitis end up on steroids and antibiotics and nebs

every 2-3 hours.

My next trip I decided to try something a nurse friend told me " why

don't you put neosporin up your nose? " I thought about it, the

petroleum jelly compund would trap anything I breathed in through my

nose & start to kill it, then I could blow it out after I reached my

destination. So, I tried it. I did not get sick. I saved myself the

uncomfortableness of the mask and did not get sick. I used a q-tip and

applied the neosporin to the inside of both nostrils around the inside

of the nasal passages. For my money this is how I am going to travel

from now on.

So, whatever that is worth, hope it helps. I also now call my

physician and ask for meds before I go anywhere. After I get back I

call him & tell him whether I had to use them or not. They have to

document all of that in case they are audited by your insurance or

medication coverage.
