  534. I excercise constantly to keep my immune system healthy and I’m always using disenfectant wipes and hand sanitizer to battle germns. I also avoid unsanitary places like public bathrooms.

    Stay healthy everyone!

  535. Lots of hand washing, hand sanitizer and paying attention to who is sick around us. Also try to get enough sleep.

  549. We battle the bug all year round by my nagging my kids all the time to wash their hands, and I have fruity smelling anti-bacterial soap pumps at all the sinks, the kids tend to wash their hands more when they like the sweet fruity scent of the soap, and I don’t get mad if they play and splash the water around a little, I’d rather have them wash their hands without a battle and clean up a little water around the sink, than have them defy me and not wash their hands. I also always carry Purel hand sanitizer with me when we go out and always ask my kids to rub their hands in it if they have been playing with other children and touching lots of toys or doors that many other people have touched. I think this combined with great healthy diet and lots of sleep help somewhat to keep everyone healthy!
