Do you get sick when travel via plane? (lemmy.world)

Almost every time I fly somewhere, I get sick, and it kinda ruins every vacation ever. I’m not sure if it’s the germs on the airplane (causation), or the time zone difference affecting my sleep (correlation). Maybe a combination of both? Last trip, it hit me about 3 days in.

I wouldn’t say my drinking/sleeping habits are that different on vacation compared to my regular life. Is this a common thing people experience, or time to see a doctor?

I desperately wanna enjoy a vacation sickness free and then return to work refreshed instead of sick.

I was considering that! I don’t really take anything regularly, but any supplement recommendations for the week prior?

Did that alone solve it, or is that just part of the solution?

    Just some "immunity" multivitamin and herbal products I've found. They're probably all pretty similar to each other. But also a big focus on staying hydrated, eating good quality food, and getting good sleep. I found if I'm intentional about all these things around a week before travel, I get better results.
