What are some ways to prevent myself from getting sick when I have been around someone with a virus?

[SuperCurious]

A couple people in my family are sick and I really can't catch it...how can I help protect myself? I know taking vitamin C is good but what else? Thank you :)

Wash your hands, wash your hands, and wash your hands with hot soapy water.

Stay away from them. Don't eat with them. Eat out.

Make sure all dishes are done in the dishwasher & use the sanitary cycle.

No dishwasher? Better boil water.

Use clorox wipes on door nobs, fridge handles, etc., you get the pix? Right?

Eat healthy, sleep well, drink h20, OJ, vitamin C. & vitamin B. daily multivitamin.

Good luck.

I got it anyway, not from family, from work! Yikes!

[SuperCurious]

thank you! And that sucks doesn't it? I know I'm probably going to get it, I kissed my man and all that earlier and he is feeling sick right now so I'm just counting down :( I hope you feel better!

Wash your hands a lot. Eat healthy foods. Avoid your sick family members to the best of your ability.

thank you!

Wash your hands as often as possible and try to avoid a lot of things they touch. Also refrain from touching your eyes or mouth after touching anything in the house.

thank you :)

Constantly washing your hands, avoiding touching your face, commanding everyone to carry with them a tissue haha

[SuperCurious]

Thank you!

stay away from them and don't use anything that they use until they heal ...always take hot drinks and eat lots of vegetables and fruites for your immunity to be perfect and work well

and you can also take cold and flue drugs to keep you safe as much as possible ...

Vitamin E. It's not brought up as much as C, but gets overlooked.

[SuperCurious]

thank you

working out also helps your immune system and if you do have a virus incubating in you, you could sweat it out , a good diet, and WASH YOUR HANDS and avoid touching the face.

Leave the house and come back when the sickos get better-good luck
