Save money, time with a plan of attack before checking out garage sales (Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
Motion sickness Motion sickness may affect travelers at any time during their trip. In most cases, symptoms can be minimized with use of dimenhydrinate (50 to 100 mg every 4 to 6 hours) or meclizine (25 mg every 6 hours) beginning at least 1 hour before motion. The transdermal scopolamine patch (Transderm-Scop) has returned to the market and is well tolerated. All of these medications have anticholinergic side effects, and they should be prescribed cautiously, especially in the elderly. Some patients have reported relief with pressure-point bands (eg, Sea Bands) worn on the wrist; however, objective evidence of benefit is lacking.

Food-borne illness The risk of traveler's diarrhea in developing countries can be as high as 60%. Contaminated foods not adequately prepared are a common cause of intestinal infections. To help prevent such illnesses, travelers should be encouraged to thoroughly clean and cook all vegetables and meats. Food should be served hot. Peeled fruits are generally safe. However, milk and milk products (eg, cheese, ice cream) that are not pasteurized, as well as cold buffets, salads, and chilled desserts, should be avoided. Consumption of seafood, beef, pork, or sausage that is raw, undercooked, smoked, pickled, or salted can lead to trichinosis or tapeworm infection. Game fish from tropical waters also may cause ciguatera poisoning. Travelers should avoid buying food from street vendors and eating in establishments that have dirty rest rooms.
