Flu season is here and we all try not to get sick during these times. We all know how hard it is for a household when one person gets sick especially if there are small children. Here are some tips that will help us avoid (hopefully) getting sick and miserable.
- If you need to rub your eyes, you should use your knuckles. Fingertips are more likely to be contaminated with viruses than your knuckles.
- Use hand sanitizers after shaking hands or holding objects like door knobs, hand rails, etc. (I trained my kids to use a hand sanitizer after coming home from school.)
- Always disinfect the phone, remote control, refrigerator door handle and the kitchen faucet since studies have shown that these are the things in the house with the most viruses.
- When using a public restroom, you should turn off the faucet using a paper towel, another one to dry hands and finally, open the door with the same paper towel.
- If you are going on a trip, start taking vitamin C to boost your immune system.
