How to Protect your Family this Flu Season

Build healthy habits to protect your family in flu season.

Wash hands and do it often hands pick up germs where ever you go. Touching doorknobs and shopping carts, and everything else that is touched all day long by person after person. By training your family to wash hands often you are reducing the number of germs that make it into your loved one’s bodies.

Teach children to regularly clean their space at home and when out of the house. A disinfectant wipe to wipe down tables, crayon boxes, books, bags, and other tools they carry around will help reduce the number of germs they come by. They should do this at least once a week.  If someone is sick encourage more cleaning than usual.

Teach your children to avoid sick friends. When a friend is coughing or sneezing, or complaining of a fever stay back to avoid picking up the germs. With attendance laws, kids really can not stay home when sick anymore.

Fight off germs after exposure

Give defusing germ-killing essential oils a try in your home at the end of each day. Diffuse these oils, add them to homemade cleaners to give them germ killing power. Even dilute and apply topically.

Clean, clean, clean. When others around you are falling ill or illness has worked its way into the house clean well daily to prevent the spread and even reinfection of common illnesses.

Keep tissues and hand sanitizer handy in each room for helping slow the spread of germs.
