10) Allergic Reactions
If your vacation involves going somewhere entirely new to you, you can be exposed to new things. While this may allow you to learn about different cultures, it puts you at risk for health problems. For instance, if you try new foods or cultural products, you may experience an allergic reaction. Mild allergic reactions may just put a slight damper on your trip. However, severe allergies may send you to the emergency room. You can try to prepare by finding out what is in the local cuisine beforehand. That way, you can avoid anything you have a known allergy to. Bringing allergy medicine with you is a good idea in this case. If you do not have any known allergies, you shouldn’t spend your whole vacation worrying. However, if you try something new and notice that you don’t feel well, you should seek medical aid.
