Hope all of you who have visited our blog gained some knowledge about how our immune system works and enjoyed what we have shared. :D Nonetheless, here are some of the precautions that we should take note even though we might think that they are simply common sense because there are bacteria all around us and you never know whether our immune system are good enough to protect us from the more harmful organisms that can cause diseases. For instance, the Hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) that we know is common among infants and children and can be spread by direct contact. So do your part to help save our community!
§ Wash hands carefully. Be sure to wash your hands frequently and thoroughly, especially after using the toilet or changing a diaper, and before preparing food and eating. When soap and water are not available, use hand wipes or gels treated with germ-killing alcohol.
§ Disinfect common areas. Get in the habit of cleaning surfaces first with soap and water, then with a diluted solution of chlorine bleach, approximately 1/4 cup of bleach to 1 gallon of water (when necessary for the bleach part). For parents with young children, disinfecting all common areas, including shared items such as toys should be done as the virus can live on these objects for days. Also, clean your baby's pacifiers often.
§ Teach good hygiene. Be a positive role model by showing your children how to practice good hygiene and how to keep themselves clean. Explain to them why it's best not to put their fingers, hands or any other objects in their mouths.
§ Be responsible. If you are not feeling well, please visit a doctor and do not go to school or work so as not to spread the germs. Stay home and rest. Furthermore, when you are sick, your immune system is low and you will also not be able to concentrate on your work.
Alright that’s about all. Have a great day! :D
