Travelling with your family is a whole different ball game. While you might have pushed some boundaries when traveling by yourself or backpacking when you were young, you’d never do that with your family in tow… or would you? That’s where World Nomads Family Travel Insurance comes in, supporting you when things go wrong.

Ocean Rash
After swimming in the ocean, my entire upper body broke out in a rash. I tried creams, talc and Benadryl for 3 days, but could not bring rash under control. I was unable to sleep and was constantly itching. I started breaking out in blisters where the rash was. I contacted Nomads via email and ended up going to the emergency room where I was prescribed a strong antihistamine and prednisone. This stopped the itching after 24 to 36 hours, but the blistering continued for another week or so.
