Summertime usually means a much needed vacation will finally be realized. For some folks travel is equated with anxiety, and for other travelers, symptoms can arise from the mode of transportation (whether that be motion sickness or jet lag) and yet for others, they can find that their symptoms tend to arrive once they have reached their destination, such as hangovers, Traveler’s Diarrhea and heat exhaustion.
