Germs

Do you know that 90% of our body is made up of germs? It is impossible to be totally free from it. Checkout http://www.tyrashow.com/ for interesting stuff.

• We make people sick by direct & indirect contact, so we need to have a clear concept & understanding of touching. For example: everyone goes to restaurants & we touch the menu. Many people have touched it, so to avoid contamination, ensure that you clean your hands before & after touching the menu. We must learn to wash our hands effectively.
  
  Dr. Tierno, director of clinical microbiology NYU medical center, says your hands are the biggest hurdle in your struggle to stay germ free! So follow these tips to make sure you are keeping yours clean.
  1. Wash your hands under warm water for at least 20 seconds.
  2. Wash your hands thoroughly especially under the nails & little crevices.
  3. Use a paper towel to turn off the faucet when you are done.
  4. Allow your hands to dry completely after washing before touching anything.
  
  
• Hotel cleaning is not as clean as you think. The glass that you drink could be rinsed off only by water without even washing it thoroughly. Wow..just think of the bedsheet..yucks! Oh! Also watch out those bed bugs. Whatever you check into the hotel, remember to look out small blood spot on the white bedsheet. If you see that, CHANGE ROOM OR CHECK OUT! One more thing: don't chuck your clothes in one corner of your hotel room because you might invite the bugs into your wear. Also ensure that you use your luggage stand when you are not using it, instead of leaving it open on the floor (hmm..i m guilty of that), because you won't want to bring mr bug home with you right?
