10 ends of cleaning of house to draw aside the flu virus H1N1

The world titles of news of influenza on the manifestation of the new virus - formerly known under the name of influenza of pigs - are enough to frighten a small child.

Jet in the World Health Organization the 's raising the world universal alert level with 5 last week - just a stage below full pandemia - and it 'enough S to send quite naturally frightened adults in the defensive mode of action.

But what is it exactly that we at the house can make to prevent the diffusion of the flu virus H1N1?

There 'no place of S like at the house

President Felipe Calderon of Mexico put it better in its first speech televised this week since the demonstration started: It has no place surer there than your own house to avoid being reached, virus of influenza Calderon indicated.

And once we 'about there, more we know to keep a virus to better take root or extending in our house, surest our house and the interior of family members will be.

It is particularly important for parents, because like we know, the influenza strikes the children more in low age hard because they asylum 't accumulated many immunities. Worse, the vaccine of influenza is in the provisioning runs in many places and the babies put out of box 't to take it, at all events.

It helps to remember the reason for which we catch usually the cold and influenza this time. Not because of time - but because us 'on the subject very of locked up to the top of the ones with the others (and one the other 'germs of S) inside.

The rhinoviruses can survive up to three hours on the inanimate skin and objects. That of the means when small Johnny notches far without covering its mouth at the nursery school, your small Annie on the occasion sufficient to contact its germs. And to bring to them living to the house.

According to the centers for the control of the diseases, one thinks the diffusion of the flu virus has H1N1 of pigs to occur the same manner: mainly of with notice by the cough or the sneeze of the people with the influenza.

Moreover, sometimes people can become infected on top by touching something with viruses and then by touching its nose or stops.

Unless the children of the hands are obviously dirty, encourage them to use the pierreuses ones containing alcohol this characteristic without water. These pierreuses kills out of the germs by dehydration. You can buy small bottles and pack them in your children bags with back for the use at the school.

7. Take care of yourself. The cold germs take place around all the hour. Thus why aren 't us sick all the hour? Usually, the people in good health, well-nourished, well-rested can defend with far much from germs. And if you obtain assistances of health in difficulty and good usually which you more quickly recover. You ensure as your family has at least eight hours of sleep, eats the healthy meals (a good number of fruit and vegetables) and the daily exercises. All good substance that should make you, at all events!
