Write an article based on this "Research potential health concerns related to your destination. Get a checkup and any required vaccinations before you depart. Talk to your health insurance company about travel coverage. Bring your prescription medications in clearly marked bottles."
article: Look into details about your destination so that you'll know what to expect once you get there. For example, being aware of potential issues like poisonous snakes and spiders, local crime, and the safety of drinking water can help keep you safe and healthy when you're on the road. It's a good idea to get a physical before you travel, especially if you plan to be away for a while, so that you have peace of mind about your own health. If you're traveling to a place that requires vaccinations, make sure you get them before you depart. Bring your vaccination paperwork with you, just in case. It's not a bad idea to carry hand sanitizer with you, especially in airports and other high-traffic areas. Medical assistance while abroad can be very expensive, difficult to find, of dubious quality or all of the above. Purchasing travel insurance before you leave your home country can protect you if you should fall ill or have an accident while abroad. Coverage amounts and deductibles will vary, but travel insurance can prevent financial catastrophe if something goes wrong. If you're traveling internationally and have Medicare, get supplemental insurance. Medicare doesn't provide coverage outside the Unites States. Prescription medications can be a red flag when you're flying, and can also make you a target to thieves. Keep your medications in bottles with your name, the doctor's name, and dosage information clearly marked to avoid any issues with flight security. Stash the bottles in a safe place. If you plan to be away for a while, make sure you have enough medication to last, since getting refills in other countries can be difficult. If you are prone to motion sickness, be prepared with an over-the-counter medication.

Write an article based on this "Discuss which flu vaccine to get with your doctor. Get the trivalent vaccine as a cheaper and easier option. Receive the quadrivalent vaccine as an alternative to a traditional shot."
article: There are several flu vaccine options. Sifting through all the information can be daunting, but there are currently two kinds of flu vaccines: trivalent and quadrivalent, both of which are similarly effective. The vaccine that's best for you depends on factors such as your age, as well as any allergies or underlying medical conditions that you may have. Talk to your doctor about which flu shot is right for you. The trivalent vaccine protects against two types of A-strains of flu (the type that causes epidemics), and one type of B-strain, which is less severe. The trivalent shot is delivered via a needle or jet injector and is more readily available at pharmacies and doctor's offices, which makes it cheaper to get as well. The A-strains covered are the H1N1 and H3N2, and the B-strain is either a derivative of Victoria or Yamagata lineage. Typically, the first B-strain included in the trivalent vaccine is the one predicted to be most prevalent in the annual flu season. Standard dosage shots use a virus grown in eggs. They are delivered via needle or jet injector. Under certain circumstances, the needle injection can be given to someone as young as six months old. The jet injector, however, is for ages 18 to 64 years old. Because immune systems weaken with age, a higher dose shot is available for those over 65 years old. The higher dosage has four times the antibody creating substance antigen and helps older people with their immune response. A cell-based shot is also available for anyone over 18 as an alternative to the typical shot. Instead of an egg, animal cells are used to create the vaccine. The vaccine itself isn't different, but the flexibility of this type of creation is beneficial because it doesn't rely on egg supply. This is a good option if you have an egg allergy. One other method using Recombinant Influenza Vaccine (RIV), also called Flublok, is produced quicker, without the influenza virus or eggs. The production is much faster, potentially better able to react to pandemics, but has a shorter shelf-life. This vaccination is also available for those 18 years and older. The quadrivalent vaccine includes both A-strains of the flu, the B-strain contained in the trivalent vaccine, and one more B-strain. They're more expensive than the trivalent shot, but there are more delivery methods to choose from than the standard shot. The standard quadrivalent shots are grown inside eggs and manufactured into multiple varieties. The age group for these shots may start from six months old in certain cases, and as young as three years old in others. An intradermal vaccine is available as an alternative to the traditional shot. While the traditional shot is delivered into the muscle, the intradermal shot uses a smaller needle and is injected under the skin. This shot requires less antigen, and is specifically for people 18-64 years old. A nasal spray, also called the Live, Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV), is approved for people two to 49 years old.

article:
Lay the rhubarb along a sheet of aluminum foil and fold the edges over the stalks. Don't seal the edges completely. Leave a small space for air to get in and out. Tightly wrapping the stalks traps in moisture and ethylene (a hormone that ripens vegetables) so your rhubarb will go bad faster. Don't wash the rhubarb until you're ready to eat it. The best spot in the fridge for your rhubarb is the vegetable crisper drawer because it has the highest humidity. It won't dry out the stalks. After 1 month or if you notice moldy spots, toss any uneaten rhubarb. Keep your refrigerator at a temperature of 32 to 40F (0 to 4C) for storing rhubarb. To freeze the rhubarb properly, first rinse it and pat it dry with a paper towel. Then chop the rhubarb into small pieces and put them in an airtight container or resealable freezer bag. Place the container in the freezer to use within 1 year. If you're using a freezer bag, remove any excess air before sealing it shut. Label your container or bag with the date and the contents using a permanent marker. Frozen rhubarb is great for smoothies or baking.
