Best way to avoid the flu!

The best way to fight the flu is avoiding the germs that get passed from the people that already have it.

The key to doing this is washing your hands correctly and often.  Wash your hands anytime after using the bathroom, before and after eating, preparing food, touching your face, coughing, sneezing or contact with public places.

Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds!  Try singing the alphabet or happy birthday twice.  Be sure to dry your hands and either push the door with your arm or use a paper towel to open the door.  Some studies show that a bathroom door handle can have as many germs as a toilet seat.
