health considerations during air travel
February 2006
Health Canada will distribute guidelines on health considerations during air travel.
Skin dryness can occur due to low humidity on airplanes. Suggest a good skin moisturizer (Nivea, etc) and a saline nasal spray (Salinex, etc) for moisturizing nasal passages.
Motion sickness can be prevented with dimenhydrinate (Gravol, etc). Also recommend a seat in the midsection of the cabin.
