You’ve spent all year saving up and counting down the days to your well-earned summer holiday and then sods law strikes; you end up spending that once-in-a-lifetime trip in bed with the superbug from hell.
It’s the nightmare we all want to avoid but how? With new research showing that millions of holidaying Brits are putting their health at risk, as they buy medication abroad without really understanding what they are taking, it seems we are in desperate in need of help. In fact, 53% of us Brits suffer with sunburn and almost 1 in 5 experiencing symptoms such as vomiting and fever on holiday.
So who better to save the day then everyone’s favourite holiday expert Judith Chalmers? And with over a third of us experiencing diarrhoea whilst on holiday, according to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB), Judith is just in time.
With the summer holiday season firmly here it appears we are happy to splash out on designer outfits but we are only willing to spend a mere £21.42 on holiday health with many of us simply leaving it to chance.
With millions of us falling ill abroad and putting our health at risk by being ill-equipped, the RPSGB has teamed up with Judith Chalmers to highlight the importance of visiting the local pharmacist to get advice and to stock up on the essentials ahead of your holiday.
