Tips for Travelling with Allergies

While the act of travelling is stocked full of all sorts of supreme goodness, it does come with its fair share of stressors. Planning, packing, prepping – there’s a lot of work that goes into making that trip an amazing one.

Before I travel, I always prepare for the unexpected. It’s my way of reducing the effects of any issues that may come up. For instance, medications and first aid supplies are a must. Being stocked with everything helps to increase comfort and health, which helps to make travels go smoothly.

As a general rule, I pack items needed for headaches, cuts, scrapes, nausea, and allergies. The first few items on my must-pack list might seem obvious. You yourself might have the same packing checklist in those regards. Yet time and time again I’m finding that it’s the allergens that seem to cause chaos when travelling.

Whether it is seasonal allergies or simply being in a different place with different elements, my allergies seem to always catch me off guard, which means that I’m stuck muddling through the rest of my trip in an allergy haze. – I’ve encountered quite a few instances when I needed the relief brought by an allergy medication like REACTINE^® on a vacation. After all, you might be jetting off in the winter when you don’t usually have allergic reactions, yet perhaps your destination is to a warmer place where pollen and grass is waiting to make you sneeze and itch. I myself have discovered sensitivities to different plants and flowers, which aren’t common where I reside, yet only discovered while travelling. Go figure!

So before jetting off on that winter holiday this year, here are some tips for travelling with allergies:

• Familiarize yourself with the destination, with possible allergens in mind
• Keep your known allergens in mind when choosing locations, restaurants etc. 
• Visit Reactine.ca to see what types of product can help you be most prepared during travel and be sure to check out the Allergy Guide for other helpful tips.

To provide relief for everyone in the family, REACTINE^® has a full lineup of products to choose from to help ensure your winter vacation is the best one yet.

Consider the following options to help make packing for your next adventure a breeze!

When your nasal symptoms are at their worst and it’s affecting your holiday enjoyment – help reduce symptoms of dry, irritated nose and maintaining healthy sinuses with the newall natural-source REACTINE^® NaturEase Nasal Spray*. The beauty is, this nasal spray can be used on kids aged 5 and up and adults too.

REACTINE^® tablets {or REACTINE^® FAST MELT^® Junior tablet for the kids}, provides up to 24 hours of non-drowsy relief from allergy symptoms. Since they are tablets and non-liquids, these are always with me on my travels whether in my purse or carry-on.
