Flu season is here. What NOT to touch...



It’s the start of flu season - and we NEED to start washing our hands. Just don’t touch the soap dispenser. 

Here is a reminder of what not to touch if you’d like to avoid picking up other people’s cold and flu germs.

* Soap dispensers in public places are crawling with germs. While it’s tough to wash your hands without touching one, be sure to use hot water for at least 15 to 20 seconds, scrubbing vigorously.

* Restaurant menus and condiments. They’re filthy and it’s best to use hand sanitizer after touching them.

* Stay clear of the germiest stores in the mall. Those are toy stores, gadget shops and makeup counters.

* The pharmacy is another obvious one. Use the drive-thru whenever possible.

* Public keypads and pens - don’t touch them. Your own pen with a stylus tip could be your best friend this season. Use it to write with and to touch keypads in public places.
