This years flu is scary. Deaths of healthy young people from the flu concerns me. We're flying next week to FL. I've been researching and the flu vaccine is 10% effective this year. So, here's what I found:
-Don't touch the storage bin on the back of the seat in front of you. Dirty diapers, used tissues and all sorts of things are put there.
-Turn on the air above your seat.
-I'm thinking about wearing surgical gloves, they force me not to touch my face.
-Drink water, bring a large bottle of water.
-Coat the inside of your nose, there are nasal sprays specifically for this, or lightly coat your nose with vaseline.
-Ask to move if person next to you is coughing or sniffling persistently. It sounds rude but is accepted.
Any other flu avoidance tips are welcome.
