Washing your hands is number one, wash them often. They even put hand sanitizer wipes with carts at some stores now. Walk around and see if you want to use a cart that has just been returned by a man picking his nose, or a person sneezing all over it. Antibacterial soap doesn't do any more good than regular soap. It's about frequently washing.
Use tissues, not handkerchiefs and then throw them away. They don't belong in the bottom of your purse.
Clean surfaces that may attract germs well. I'm always cleaning doorknobs, think about it.
Don't hang with people who have colds and don't go around people if you have one and can avoid it.
NO BRAINERS, I KNOW, BUT WHEN WE'RE IN A HURRY, HARD TO FOLLOW THROUGH.
DO'S AND DON'TS
Don't fix a hot toddy, alcohol can a actually make you more stuffy, they don't help.
Don't smoke or be around it. Smokers hold onto colds longer than non smokers.
Don't take antibiotics, they do nothing for viral infections. Ear starts to hurt; check with a dr.
I hate it when people don't clean door handles, I'd have thought that would be one of the most obvious places to clean. Just thinking about the bacteria on it makes me cringe.
