Most infections are spread by physical contact....which is why washing your hands in hot soapy water for 20 seconds is the best prevention.

Sometimes what feels like a cold is really an allergy. Over 40 million Americans suffer from allergies, caused by dust mites, mold, pet dander and cockroach droppings (ewe gross), all of which thrive in carpet, drapes and upholstery.

*Clean carpets with and upholstery with a dry-steam cleaner (where do I get one??)
followed by an intensive vacuuming. Vacuums with HEPA filters are best.

*Leave your shoes at the door. Shoes spread pesticides, pollen and germs.

*Use sanitizing wipes on items groped daily, cabinet handles, remote controls, light switches, door knobs and keys.
