Manchester, England (WFN) -- If you're planning a spring break trip, you might need some tips on surviving it.

Anthony Greenbank, author of the book "The Book of Survival" (Hatherleigh Press) has some tips which can help the spring break revelers make it home safe and sound.

For instance, if you're a woman and you're being followed, Greenbank says don't run away. Instead, stop, spin round and walk back straight towards the stalker. He says it's totally unexpected and will throw them off.

There's also a proper way to lift your luggage to avoid injury. Greenbank suggests bending the knees, not the spine, and always swap bags of uneven weight between hands.

If someone collapses and has symptoms like feebleness, giddiness and rapid pulse it could be sunstroke or heatstroke. Greenbank says to wrap them in a wet sheet and continue to fan them to lower the body temperature -- but stop if the victim vomits.

One thing Greenbank doesn't cover in his book is how identify alcohol poisoning. But if you suspect someone has overindulged, he recommends taking them to the hospital immediately.
