Step 1
• Wash your hands. This may sound like common knowledge however, most people do not properly wash their hands or wash them frequently enough to prevent illness. Antibacterial soap has not proven to actually kill any more germs than regular soap and can irritate sensitive skin. So, don't be too concerned with they type of soap you use, focus more on the way you wash your hands and the frequency you wash throughout the day. You should wash your hands for around 1 full minute with warm, soapy water throughout the day- before contact with food, after contact with the public, and of course after you use the restrooms.

Step 2
• Stay home if you are sick. This is not a time to be playing the hero. If you are sick, avoid contact with others as much as possible. Stay home from work, stay away from stores and other public places (yes, the world will be ok without you for a day or two).
