Why does my family always get sick on vacation?


Why does my family always get sick on vacation? It's fun to travel. But being away from our usual eating and sleeping routines can make it more likely for someone to get sick. It takes time to adjust to the food, water, and air in a new environment. And kids can be at risk for travel-related problems like motion sickness, diarrhea, and infections.


Is it bad to call in sick after vacation?

It may look bad to take sick time immediately after a vacation, but it is far worse to show up at the office with the flu and potentially spread the disease. See how you're feeling when you get home and call in sick if you need to.
