Why You Might Feel Sick After a Vacation

Have you ever gone on vacation only to come home, get back into your routine and then feel the sniffles come on?

Have you ever gone on vacation only to come home, get back into your routine and then feel the sniffles come on? It’s more common than you might think and there’s reason we often come back feeling unwell. A family medicine physician says it’s due to all of the exposure you have while jet-setting. Planes, airports, buses and even ride share vehicles are all spaces that put travelers in close contact and most likely there’s multiple sick people you’ll come in contact with. Even things like how you spend your time matters. Things like concerts, sporting events and other activities are common places to catch a cold as well. Plus, it doesn’t help that you’re moving your body from one climate to another and then back again which challenges your immune system.
