When hitchhiking specific health issues can occur, notably:

  • Diesel fumes and other vapors from fuel, especially at gas stations.
  • Dust, in desert areas and alongside many roads.
  • Smoke from the cigarettes your drivers smoke. This is negligible if you smoke yourself of course, though it's also harder to quit smoking when you hitchhike a lot.
  • Sunstrokes can occur if one can't shelter in the shades.
  • It's a good idea to drink a lot of water to compensate for dehydration.

Also don't overestimate these issues. Truck drivers have to deal with diesel fumes most of the time.
