Zombie costume or actually getting sick? 🧟🎃

Check on your little monsters before heading out. Feeling sick? Cue the Halloween movie and first pick of the candy.

Live more. Risk less. Your wellness will thank you. 👻

Your cold and flu supplies called. Some of them retired in 2022. 🫣🧳

Before they join you for holiday travel, give them a quick inspection.

🔎 Check expiration dates and replace expired items. Medicines can lose effectiveness, and expired tests may give unreliable results. Before replacing a home test, check whether its expiration date has an authorized extension.

📦 Check quantities. An empty box is surprisingly bad at helping anyone.

🌡️ Check the thermometer. Does it work, and can you actually find it?

👨‍👩‍👧 Traveling with kids? Read the age and dosing directions. What works for you may not be appropriate for them.

🏷️ Keep labels and instructions with your supplies, and follow storage directions. “It’s been in the glove compartment all summer” deserves a closer look.

And please, open the travel pouch. Don’t just squeeze it and decide it feels prepared. 😂

Risk less by checking now, while amazon is responsive and departure isn’t in three hours.

Then live more. Enjoy the holiday plans you actually wanted to make.

What’s the oldest thing hiding in your medicine cabinet?

Running, cheering, or just there for the New York weekend? 🗽👟

Nearly 60,000 runners. More than 2 million spectators. The NYC Marathon on November 1 is quite the gathering!

Live more. Cheer someone on, catch a Broadway show, take in the skyline, and find somewhere good to eat.

Before you go, your respiratory check, reviewed October 27:
📍 CDC: New York State’s overall activity is Very Low. Flu-related emergency visits are Low but increasing.
📍 Weather.com: Low modeled flu risk in NYC, with some surrounding areas higher.

With that many people coming together from different communities, the destination outlook is only part of the picture.

Risk less. Check activity at home and your destination, then pack your cold-and-flu essentials alongside your cheering gear.

Because a pharmacy run probably wasn’t the finish line you had in mind. Your wellness will thank you. 💛

Nonrefundable tickets. A very inconvenient fever. Now what? 🤒🧳

Apparently, nobody told the virus about your cancellation policy.

“What if someone gets sick before our trip?” It’s a question that comes up often on social media.

Changing plans can be complicated, especially when you’re already away and need to get home. But the decision involves more than getting through the journey. There’s the risk of spreading illness and of getting worse somewhere unfamiliar.

Before deciding to travel:

📞 Call your healthcare provider. Explain the symptoms, your travel plans, and where you’re going. Ask whether an assessment or treatment is needed before departure.

📍 Know where to find care. Identify nearby clinics and emergency services and check what your insurance covers.

🧳 Prepare for a change of plans. Keep appropriate medicines, tests, a thermometer, and hydration supplies accessible. Allow room for rest or an extended stay.

CDC recommends staying home until, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving overall and you’ve had no fever without fever reducing medicine. Take added precautions for the next five days. That guidance is not medical clearance to travel.

If travel cannot be avoided, discuss the risks with your provider. A well-fitting mask, when appropriate for age and ability, cleaner air, distance, and good hygiene can reduce exposure to others. They cannot eliminate the risk.

Trouble breathing, dehydration, or a child who isn’t alert or interacting when awake needs medical attention right away. The itinerary can wait.

At RiskWise, preparedness means having supplies and knowing when those supplies aren’t enough.

Risk less by planning for the unexpected. Live more with informed decisions that consider your family and the people sharing the journey.

Your wellness will thank you. 💛

The table may be empty now, but not for long! ✨

I’ve arrived at The VERVE Experience in Huntington Beach and am ready to bring the RiskWise Experience Booth to life.

As part of my own travel preparation, I checked the respiratory outlook for Orange County and packed with the destination and season in mind. It is a small step, but it reflects what RiskWise is all about: preparing for the possibilities so you can focus on the experience ahead.

I’m grateful to be here as a VERVE Studio Partner and excited to finally share what I’ve been building. Thank you, Suzanne Castle Consulting, for creating this room and inviting RiskWise to be part of it!

Now it’s time to unpack, set up, and welcome an incredible group of women.

Live more. Risk less. Your wellness will thank you.

“It’s probably a virus.”

I remember hearing that when my now middle schoolers were toddlers. We weren’t offered a flu test at those visits, and testing for flu at home wasn’t an option.

Now we can test for COVID and flu at home, or in a hotel room. As a parent, traveler, and scientist, I appreciate how far we’ve come. 🧪💛

That information can help us decide what comes next. Call the pediatrician? Change travel plans? Skip school, work, or dinner with friends?

It can also help a healthcare provider consider treatment. Some treatments work best when started early.

That’s why tests belong in RiskWise Health Kits. A little preparation helps us risk less and live more, wherever the season takes us.

Your wellness will thank you. 💛

🍁 Your inbox can wait. These fall colors won’t.

Asheville pairs Blue Ridge Mountain views with Biltmore, downtown shops, and meals worth lingering over.

Downtown recorded 1.2 million non-resident visits in October 2025. Plenty of company for leaf peeping!

Live more. Make room for a fall getaway.

Your respiratory preview, checked October 19:
📍 Weather.com: Moderate flu risk for East Asheville.
📍 CDC: With Buncombe County selected, flu-related emergency visits are Very Low but Increasing.

Visitors arrive from communities with different respiratory activity, so local numbers are only part of the picture.

Risk less. Check home and destination activity and pack your cold-and-flu essentials alongside your sweater. Your wellness will thank you.

Flowers are lovely. A fall adventure together? Even sweeter. 🍂💛

October 17 is Sweetest Day, a reminder that small acts of kindness can make someone feel remembered and appreciated. Its roots include sharing candy and treats, but the gesture doesn’t have to come in a candy wrapper.

Invite a friend for a walk. Take someone apple picking. Bring their favorite coffee and find a scenic spot to enjoy it.

Bonus points if you share the c***r donuts. Apparently, buying six and eating five yourself is “not sharing.” 😂

With fall putting on a show, it’s a good excuse to spend time outdoors with someone who could use a little company.

A thoughtful outing can be simple. Bring an extra layer, pick a walk you’ll both enjoy, and agree that stopping for donuts absolutely counts as part of the itinerary.

And before you reach into that bakery box, make a stop to wash your hands. A little consideration and everyday habits can help us risk less during cold and flu season.

At RiskWise Health Kits, preparedness is part of what we do. But today’s reminder is about making time for the people who make life sweeter.

Live more. Take the scenic walk, crunch through the leaves, and enjoy the company.

Your wellness will thank you. Your walking buddy might, too. 💛

You made it through security, a full flight, and checked into the hotel. Now, a quick stop at the sink. 🧼✈️

October 15 is Global Handwashing Day. And when it comes to making handwashing a habit, the Navy gave us an example worth sharing.

In a study published in 2001, a Navy training center introduced a handwashing program that instructed recruits to wash at least five times daily. Outpatient visits for respiratory illness fell by 45% compared with before the program.

The program also included education and better access to soap. That result isn’t a promise for your next trip, but it’s a compelling reason to give clean hands a place on the itinerary.

Your vacation doesn’t need a commanding officer. Getting the kids to wash before lunch, however, might require your best command voice. 😂

This Global Handwashing Day, take these habits along for your next adventure:

🧼 Wash after exiting airport security, before eating, and after using the restroom.
🤧 Wash after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
⏱️ Scrub with soap for at least 20 seconds. Include the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails. Then rinse and dry.
🧴 No soap and water available? Use hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol.

At RiskWise, we believe practical preparation and everyday habits can help us risk less during cold and flu season. Handwashing is one layer of protection. Respiratory viruses can also spread through the air.

Live more. Enjoy the local food, the family visit, and the adventure ahead. Just give clean hands a spot between “find the gate” and “find a snack.”

Your wellness will thank you. 💛

What’s your family’s favorite way to count those 20 seconds?

🎃 Salem called. Apparently, your witch hat has plans.

Salem, Massachusetts, is this week’s travel highlight. Why all the excitement? Its connection to the 1692 witch trials draws visitors interested in history, while Haunted Happenings fills October with markets, ghost tours, performances, and Halloween festivities.

Add historic streets, autumn scenery, and a crowd that takes costumes very seriously, and you have a fall getaway where your cape finally gets its moment.

How much company will you have? Downtown Salem welcomed 1.1 million unique visitors during October 2025. That would be one very crowded group photo.

Destination Salem’s published tourism data lists New York, Boston–Manchester, Providence–New Bedford, and Philadelphia among leading visitor markets. Those are historical visitor origins, not a forecast of this year’s crowd.

Live more. Add a little October magic to your calendar:

✨ Salem Night Faire
October 16–17 and 23–24, 5–10 p.m.
Pioneer Village

🧙 Witch Hats on the Wharf
October 17 at 11 a.m., Derby Wharf
A community photo and world record attempt celebrating Salem’s 400th anniversary. Finally, an occasion where you can’t be overdressed in a witch hat.

Before you go: your cold-and-flu preview. 🍂

Snapshots checked October 12:

📍 Weather Channel’s Salem Cold & Flu Forecast
Very Low flu risk, based on the forecast reviewed. This is a modeled flu-risk outlook.

📍 CDC Community Snapshot
With Essex County selected, flu-related emergency department visits display Very Low, with the trend labeled Increasing. This describes emergency department visits, a different measure from forecast flu risk.

🔗 Event details and cold-and-flu resources are in the comments. Check reporting dates and geographic coverage before departure.

Your fellow travelers bring more than creative costumes. They arrive from different communities, where respiratory activity can differ, and mingle in shared close spaces. A destination flu snapshot doesn’t capture everyone arriving from elsewhere.

Risk less. Check your home community and destination, then organize your cold-and-flu essentials alongside your costume.

Because searching for cold and flu medicine was probably not the ghost tour you booked. Your wellness will thank you.

Would you visit Salem for the history, the Halloween festivities, or the chance to wear a cape in public? 👇
