Nothing can ruin a summer vacation faster than an unexpected trip to the hospital.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration offers these suggestions for a healthier vacation:

• Avoid tanning or spending too much time in the sun.
• Check your medications before you leave to make sure you have enough.
• Never pack medication in checked luggage.
• If you wear contacts, always use clean hands when putting them in. Travel with a spare pair, just in case.
• Avoid tattoo parlors, particularly while in other countries that probably have different safety standards.
• Drink enough clean water and eat healthy foods.
