  • Practice good hygiene: wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (use hand sanitizer out on the trail), cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough, and avoid touching your face.
  • On warm summer days, be sure to drink lots of fluids and take breaks in shaded or cool areas. Keep on the look-out for signs of heat-related illnesses.
