It should be the highlight of the year, something you have saved for and looked forward to for months.

But a dream holiday could turn into a nightmare if you fail to take some basic health precautions before you travel and while you are away on holiday.

Sunburn, insect bites, upset stomachs are familiar complaints, but in more exotic place horros such as malaria can be lurking.

Good sense is often forgotten as fun seekers indulge in too much rich food, alcohol and sun. More seriously the different standards of hygiene, unfamiliar biting insects, and long periods under a fiercely hot sun can present real dangers.

Follow the Travel Health Tips to come and make sure you get to enjoy your holiday to the full.
