Avoiding colds and the flu
January 29, 2009
Each winter, influenza makes victims of millions of Canadians. It starts in November and ends in April. You can get it from infected people sneezing or coughing. These viruses are a hard lot and they manage to stay alive on just about anything like doorknobs, keyboards and even ATMs. You can pick them up anywhere.
How can you keep yourself germ-free?
Antimicrobial hand sanitizers are the latest product that will help to keep you germ-free. They are creams and lotions and they offer antimicrobial protection, just what we want.
They work by killing or inactivating viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites. A new product called Safe4Hours keeps you germ-free. It stays on your hands for four hours, all the while killing germs.
You can also try hand wipes or alcohol-based hand sanitizers. You do not need water and soap to clean your hands, they will suffice.
How can I properly wash my hands?
Even the question might seem foolish to you. However, if you do not wash your hands properly you can become a victim of several other infections besides influenza also.
You should use warm water to wash your hands. You should rub and wash for at least 15 seconds. You should wash long enough, count if you have to, in order to keep a watch if you are washing properly or not. The rubbing will produce friction and cause you to get rid of any germs that may be sticking there.
Using soap is a good idea. Be sure to make it lather.
Take extra care to clean between your fingers and also underneath your finger nails because these are the areas where those little devils hide themselves.
You can ruin your entire effort of cleaning your hands and making them germ-free by using a dirty or damp towel. Be careful to use a dry and clean towel. These germs generally tend to grow in damp surfaces, so you should refrain from using damp towels. When done using it, hang it properly so it can dry well.
When using public restrooms, use paper towels for the taps as well as the door.
