Friendly Flu Prevention Reminders:

1. Frequent handwashing is the best prevention.

2. "Hands off the face" approach; resist lll tempation to touch any part of your face.

3. Gargle twice a day with either warm water/salt water or antiseptic mouth wash (example Listerine).

4.  Clean nostrils at least once a day with warm salt water or spray saline solution, or blow nose hard once a day and swab both nostrils dipped in warm salt water.
