If you arm yourself with the facts about the H1N1 virus and implement the proper measures, prevention of exposure and not spreading to others is possible. Below are 7 tips for prevention based on the facts about swine flu. This is just good common sense we should practice when dealing with any illness and would be just as effective against any flu, even H1N1, this season.
1.Wash your hands regularly with soap and water or an alcohol based hand sanitizer.
Physical contact is the primary transmission method. Door handles, phones, tools, keyboards and similar items we share are the biggest offenders.
2.Sneeze or cough into a tissue or cloth. If neither are available use elbow or shoulder. This needs to be impressed on the young ones in the family.
3.Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth. This is most important when in public places but also needs to be exercised at home.
4.If sick with flu-like symptoms remain home for at least 24 hours after fever has broken except for doctor or hospital visits.
5.Follow public heath announcements concern school closures, avoiding traveling and other social distancing measures. When returning home from work, school or any other public place be sure to wash hands throughly.
6.Be prepared in advance with the basic necessities and medications to be able to stay home for a week or two just in case you do get sick.
7.Try to avoid contact with sick people but if necessary to do so take protective measures. If taking care of sick family members keeping all soiled clothing and linens washed as soon as possible is a good practice.
If illness persist, especially fever, consult your doctor. Be extra cautious in this regard with children since they are more impacted by the H1N1 flu and will have no immunities from previous viruses to rely on. Always take a child to the doctor when sick is what is recommended.
What separates the swine flu from the seasonal flu is the fact that children and young adults have the highest rate of mortality and not the aged. Swine flu is particular harmful to populations with preexisting conditions like asthma. It has been advised that everyone visit their doctor if sick during this unusual flu season.
Here in the United States, as of October 2009 the H1N1 flu vaccine is available on a limited basis. It is promised to be available to everyone in the next few weeks. Although there is rumored to be an upcoming mandatory vaccination program, at present getting vaccinated is strictly voluntary. Weather you choose this kind of defensive measure or not is up to you but it is important to get all the facts about swine flu, both the passive and aggressive preventive measures available.
Basic everyday actions against the H1N1 virus are very effective, and easily implemented. Although a threat not to be taken lightly the facts about swine flu, when examined, can give you the upper hand when protecting yourself and your loved ones.
Don’t get caught off guard by H1N1! Arm yourself with the new Swine Flu Safety Handbook. Get ALL facts and resources in one place. Defend yourself and loved ones successfully. Robert has researched assorted products dealing with the facts about swine flu and recommends this handbook as a complete source for current information for swine flu defense.
