#1- Never travel with scissors or any other dangerous pointed object.
#2-Always wear clean underwear, and carry a spare (in case of an accident. Not the kind where you can’t control your bladder/bowels [although that too], but just incase you have to go to hospital if #1 was disregarded.)
#3-If your means of travel is via a quantum matter teleportation unit (or some such thingy), always make sure there are no flies (or anything else for that matter or antimatter) in the chamber with you. Disaster could result, or improvement for some people. That would negate #2, because it would be best to travel naked.)
#4-Do not form any personal relationships with those you meet, ever! (See #5, it is also a good habit to form in general.)
#5-Do not have sex with anyone under any circumstance, for obvious reasons (i.e. STDs for one, very prevalent in the past, still are and may be in the future, too. At least up until the point when we all become a single gender. Also, you could become your own grandparent etc. etc.)
#6-Do not wear deodorant, cologne or the like when traveling between 2.4 million years ago, give or take a few millennia, and 1887 Anno Domini. People will be suspicious if you smell nice and could also draw the attention of animals/dinos/first humans etc., which may eat you.
#7-Make sure you have had all of your inoculations before hand, and carry a first aide kit which includes military food rations. (Disregard if #3 is your means of travel.)
#8-Never accept candy from a stranger (which would or should be just about everyone) or enter his/her/it’s van/carriage/ship/covered wagon etc. on the ploy they have puppies or kittens in there.
(Awww, puppies and kittens you say? How can one resist that!)
#9-Never step on, touch, lick, spit on, feel, vomit (in case time travel does not agree with you...just swallow it back down...I know...eww, but what if you vomited into the original gene pool of life itself, the primeval ooze, what then huh...answer me that? No, don’t, I don’t want to know,) sneeze, cough, expel anything i.e. urinate or the other (especially not in the aforemention pool) or breathe (that includes inhalation as well as exhalation).
#12-Now this is the most important of all, if visiting the same time period of your own existence, NEVER, NEVER try to seek out yourself. Everyone knows that causes some sort of paradox, and paradoxes are NEVER a good thing!
Did I mention NEVER?
