Germ Hot Spots
When thinking about infectious diseases and how best to avoid them, most people don't think about germ protection or germ defense. They think about avoiding other people. Someone at home has the sniffles? Stay away. A coworker at your office has a nasty cough? You won’t be eating with them today.
But did you know that you can also contract infectious diseases indirectly (not just from direct contact with another person who has the infection), and that germs have a way of hiding in places you never considered? That's also a key part of germ defense.
Whether you’re at home, school, in the office, or traveling, you’re in constant contact with germs everyday. Let’s face it, it’s impossible to get away from every harmful virus or bacteria. However, you can concentrate your efforts on critical germ “hot spots.” And knowing these is critical for germ protection.
