Hi Kitty,

May I add to this sentence that I use a paper towel to turn the water faucet

on and off in public restrooms.

Here are some suggestions from the Infectious Diseases doctor at the hospital I

used to work at.

Drink plenty of fluids.

Get plenty of rest.

Wash hands frequently.

Keep hands away from nose, mouth and eyes.

Stay home when you are sick.

When using the restroom, use your paper towel to open the door. (Our restroom

has a hand dryer but I use toilet paper to dry my hands and open the door.) It

is amazing how many women leave without washing their hands!!!

If you have to cough or sneeze and don't have a tissue or handkerchief, use your

sleeve.

I keep a bottle of Purell at my desk (at work) and if I have to go to another

desk to help someone, I use it when I come back to my desk. I also clean my

keyboard and mouse with an antibacterial wipe every morning because our desks

are shared with people working other shifts.

May I add here to use plain soap, not antibacterial soap. Antibacterial

soap simply allows germs to get stronger just as they do when people

take antibiotics.

Now that was spoken like a nurse!

Hi Jany,

I'm not a nurse, but I learned a lot 9 years ago when my immune system was

very low.
