Orlando International Airport, otherwise known as MCO in airline speak (Please don’t call it OIA. Well, you could.

After a few days of walking around the theme parks, water parks or one of our fabulous beaches, you wake up one morning to find your legs are covered in a red splotchy rash.
What is it? Is it dangerous? What should you do for it?
Maybe you’ll search the internet to find out about it, and if so, Hello!!!! First of all, understand that you’re currently reading a travel blog. If you are having a medical emergency, seek attention immediately and stop Googling your symptoms.
Otherwise, you might head to the local pharmacy to find out what you can buy to treat it. That’s when you’ll find out that this is a pretty common problem for people visiting Orlando, or anywhere else that gets really hot.
