Swine Flu – helpful tips
The sad truth is that on a crowded island any contagious virus will spread more rapidly than in a rural community. That’s why London, Manchester and Birmingham have experienced the highest number of swine flu numbers so far. It will spread further afield but it will take time. For example last winter’s flu started in London and didn’t reach the west of Cornwall in any numbers until April – we must anticipate the same effect with swine flu. So what can you do to avoid catching it? Here are a few simple ideas:
- avoid crowded places – cinemas, trains, busses, big conferences, hotels (outside areas like camping are very much lower risk)
- avoid prolonged contact with anyone you don’t know – you have to be in close proximity to someone who has swine flu to catch it unless the virus is on a hard surface
- avoid touching doors, tables, any hard surface in public places where people may have inadvertently left the virus. Some people are wearing gloves when out – sensible and simple
- WASH YOUR HANDS frequently with warm/hot water and dry thoroughly – don’t use washable towels in public areas – use disposable towels or air dryer. Personal hygiene is vital.
- use natural disinfectants in the home and wash door handles and hard surfaces thoroughly
- think about using natural remedies proven over time:
- organic Garlic capsules and organic Elderberry
- Bee Propolis liquid spray
- serraEzyme Quad Strength
Remember that for most people Swine Flu is relatively mild and short lived and your best defence is a properly functioning and regulated immune system – anti-viral drugs are a last resort and in many cases are of questionable benefit in any case.
