Keep it Clean!!! |

The H1N1 virus (aka swine flu) is rapidly sweeping through the U.S. And with all the reported cases of it, people are running to doctors' offices at the slightest sign of a sneeze. I understand it's better to be safe than sorry, especially with young ones, but this is allergy
season (where I'm at anyway- in the U.S.) and it is common for this time to have allergy and flu-like symptoms.
Practice good hygiene people- wash your hands before you eat or drink and anytime you go to the restroom. If you want to take extra precaution to prevent acquiring germs, carry around some hand sanitizer. I'm doing what I can to keep my family healthy, by keeping the dust down to a minimum and disinfecting high germy areas such as the kitchen (which is actually a bigger breeder for bacteria than the bathroom!!!) and the bathroom. Also a good way to keep germs and bacteria down around the house, spray disinfectant periodically on the most commonly touched items like door knobs and light switches. Another tid bit for those of you who may be clean freaks- you don't have to clean your home religiously. This can pose a problem too as children can ironically have bigger problems like staff infection if they are used to a purely clean environment (this is because every time they step outside the house, they are exposed to common air pollutants and germs) Children need to build up an immunity to certain air borne bacteria so that they don't get sick every time they're exposed to it. Just thought I'd share this with you.
