With Summer in Full Swing, I Was wondering…How Does One Keep Safe, Health Wise, While Traveling?

Question by T.E.A.M. Freedom: With summer in full swing, I was wondering…How does one keep safe, health wise, while traveling?
I vaguely remember a investigative report on the dangers of staying in hotels/motels. Things like personal safety and keeping valuables safe seem pretty straight forward. But this was dealing with things like body lice from the bedding, a meth lab, bodily fluids…

I remember a hotel in Vegas where many of the guests needed to be treated for crabs (luckily it wasn’t me), a few years ago. It was caused by the bedding when the maids came around.

Without having to bring everything with you from home, how can you keep yourself safe?
