Makes you nervous, doesn’t it? Relax. It takes just a little commonsense and attention to protect yourself from public germs. Here are waysto keep germs at bay:
Handwashing. Always wash your hands before cooking,eating, or inserting your contact lenses. Wash your hands after cooking,using the toilet, petting an animal, handling garbage, blowing yournose, or coughing or sneezing into your hand. It doesn’t matter if youwash with regular or antibacterial soap as long as you do a thoroughjob.
Use hand sanitizer. Alcohol-based sanitizers thatrequire no water are among the greatest health inventions of recenttimes. They’re efficient at killing germs, whenever and wherever youencounter them, without the need of water or towels.
Keep hands away from your face. No matter how manytimes you wash them, if you are in public, your hands will pick upgerms. Germs will quickly enter your body if you rub your eyes or nose,stroke your chin, or touch your lips.
Avoid the communal candy bowl or cookie jar. Giventhat only 67 percent of people who say they wash their hands actuallydo, and that only a third of those people use soap, you can imaginewhat’s lurking in there.
