Where your health is concerned, the old adage stands: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
For that reason, the Doane College Student Health and Wellness Center has created a spring break survival kit that offers advice on how avoid potential spring break disasters and have a safe and healthy vacation.
The kits include free sunscreen and Blistex samples, as well as a Spring Break Survival Manual. According to the manual, planning ahead can make the difference between a fun spring break and one that ends up being a disappointment.
“We’ve never had any serious problems before,” college nurse Kelly Jirovec said. “The survival kits are a preventative measure.”
The spring break survival manual offers tips on many different things including travel, skin care and food and water safety.
Free spring break survival kits will be available in Tiger Inn next week.
