Question by T.E.A.M. Freedom: With summer in full swing, I was wondering…How does one keep safe, health wise, while traveling?
I vaguely remember a investigative report on the dangers of staying in hotels/motels. Things like personal safety and keeping valuables safe seem pretty straight forward. But this was dealing with things like body lice from the bedding, a meth lab, bodily fluids…

I remember a hotel in Vegas where many of the guests needed to be treated for crabs (luckily it wasn’t me), a few years ago. It was caused by the bedding when the maids came around.

Without having to bring everything with you from home, how can you keep yourself safe?

You could buy new sheets or wash the ones on the beds and put out tic repellant. Sodium borate is a contact insecticide that is a white powder like salt. It won’t hurt wood and helps put out fires if burned. A can of borax is the natural mineral form of it, not as acidic but bugs avoid it as they do any lime like caustic substance.
