Calling all travel lovers! I like many others experienced a 'sunny getaway' cough. I didn't feel sick while traveling, I could still taste, yet I clearly experienced something at one particular port that triggered a reaction in me, and upon return was still evident.

🐝One step into my home and my first 'go to' was local raw honey, to reset my system to my local environment and of course I had in my cupboard! After a few tablespoons, lots of water and a good sleep, my cough was already breaking up.

📍👇Below is a good reminder for those who love the sunny south winter travel, like me, of a few reasons that cough is so common and ways to avoid it.

👉And P.S., if you wish to wear a mask on the flight, take your own as they are no longer provided or available with the airlines.

1. Environmental Factors:
Humidity: The Caribbean's humid climate can promote mold or mildew growth, which might irritate your respiratory system if you're sensitive or allergic.

Air Conditioning: Constant exposure to air conditioning on flights, in hotels, or during your stay can dry out your airways and lead to coughing.

2. Airborne Irritants:
Pollen, dust, or volcanic ash (if present in certain areas) can trigger respiratory reactions, especially if you have allergies or asthma.

3. Respiratory Infections:
Travel increases exposure to new bacteria or viruses. A mild upper respiratory infection might develop after being in crowded spaces like airports or planes.

4. Postnasal Drip:
Changes in climate, allergens, or even different foods can cause increased mucus production, leading to a cough.

5. Dehydration:
Traveling and spending time in the sun can dehydrate you, which may dry out your throat and contribute to irritation.

6. Irritants from Smoking or Cooking:
In some parts of the Caribbean, exposure to secondhand smoke or cooking fumes might cause throat irritation.

📍If this happens to you, consider:

✈️Staying hydrated while traveling.

✈️Using saline nasal spray to keep your nasal passages clear.

✈️Wearing a mask on flights to reduce exposure to airborne particles.

Hope this is a helpful! ❤️

Oh my flava! I had an incredible experience at Wicked Chicken in downtown Kitchener, and they didn't disappoint. My Korean Chicken was everything I hoped for—perfectly crispy, loaded with big flavour, and just the right amount of spice to keep this spicy gal happy!

This hidden gem truly lives up to its name!

Thanks Chef Nicole for joining me
