You might not know this but my DH's degree is actually geared toward epidemiology (the study of the spread of disease). So this new Swing Flu epidemic is really peaking his interest.
I know this isn't coupon clipping, but DOES fit in the provident living category, and here are tips that he shared with me along with a grain of salt so to say.
The way this is passed is the same as the traditional flu bug, and that is NOT through the air. The flu can live on surfaces for a long time having been spread by a carrier and then along comes a healthy person touches that object and then scratches their eye and there you have it...transmission.
So the BEST form of protection is something that is pretty simple. WASH YOUR HANDS. KEEP YOUR HANDS OUT OF YOUR MOUTH NOSE AND EYES (and your kids' too) AND LASTLY SANITIZE SURFACES WHEN IT IS REALISTIC.
Good examples would be bathroom surfaces, kitchen surfaces etc.
The best examples would be shopping carts, your STEERING WHEEL, and things you touch a lot after being in public (what about that cell phone?)
Read up and be smart! Do what you feel is realistic for your family, and be clean.
I am so glad that I got that DEAL on Clorox last fall. (4 gallons of Clorox brand bleach and 4 spray bottles of hard surface disinfectant or disinfectant wipes for $4.00 )
Provident Living paying off? I have my supplies and don't need to run out and pay full price so I would say YUP!!!
Happy hand washing!
