Concerns about swine flu are gaining in pace as more and more cases are diagnosed across the world. At present, many people have recovered from their symptoms but there have been a significant number of fatalities.
During this aftermath of the credit crunch, many people are financially challenged and some may be unable to afford the anti-viral drugs that could reduce symptoms and save lives should they be unfortunate enough to contract “swine flu”.
So what can be done, with minimal financial outlay, to protect you and your family from this threatened pandemic?
Flu viruses are spread by tiny particles that are pread through moisture in the atmosphere caused by sneezing or coughing. Personal hygiene is essential in protecting yourself and others from catching swine flu in this way:
- using tissues to catch coughs and sneezes then putting the tissue in the bin as soon as possible after use will help to contain virus particles and prevent them from being scattered where others may touch. Cheap toilet tissue can be used in just the same way to save money on the more expensive tissues.
- Wash your hands after blowing your nose or touching doors, elevator buttons, grocery trollies etc in public places will help to stop germs being passed around.
- A bottle of antibacterial hand cleanser (available from many pharmacies and food stores) may be useful to carry with you when out and about and may be unable to wash your hands.
- Always wash hands before eating to avoid ingesting virus particles.
- Face masks are not considered a good defence against catching swine flu but may reduce the spreading of the virus by catching particles before a sneeze or cough releases them into the atmosphere.
- Eating a good healthy diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables will help to boost your immune system as well. This should improve your body’s ability to fight off the virus should you catch it.
- Food supplements may also help in fighting swine flu symptoms. Viratrol is a highly effective immune system booster that, whilst not a guarantee that you will not catch viruses, will greatly assist your body’s fight against any symptoms of swine flu should they occur.
