Well, it’s that time of the year again! Just last week alone four of my clients were out sick with the flu, and at least another four friends suffered the same fate. Unfortunately, flu season isn’t over yet, and that means you stand a good chance of being exposed to the virus at some point.
While a lot of people will go to the gym no matter how sick they feel rather than miss a single workout, this is not recommended. [...]

Whatever happened to kids playing in the dirt and coming home covered in muck? I remember as a young lad I used to always be getting into mischief, rolling around in dog dirt, eating soil, and putting just about anything in my mouth that I could get away with. Cleanliness back then was not the issue that it has become today, but one can’t help but question whether the fanaticism for antibacterial hygiene has gone a bit over the [...]

We were told from the time that we were little kids to wash our hands. “Did you wash your hands before dinner”? Our mothers would ask. “Wash up before bed” our parents often commanded. “Johnny, stop picking your nose. Now go wash up before you eat” I?m sure that most of us out there have heard these shouts or something similar to them from our parents as we were growing up. What is the big deal about this anyway? Well, [...]

Then, for about 10 seconds your hands must be thoroughly lathered away from the running water, especially under the fingernails. Your hands should be thoroughly rinsed underneath warm water without allowing the [...]

In a bird flu pandemic tamiflu may not be as effective as authorities hope.
Many countries like the USA are stockpiling tamiflu in preparation for a bird flu pandemic.
Members of the public are buying up tamiflu for their own personal bird flu protection.
But until the bird flu mutates to a human to human virus we can’t be certain that tamiflu will be effective against the bird flu virus.
And the latest signs are not good…
In an unsettling development for health authorities tamilflu [...]

Hand washing contact lenses is not the only way to go. You can use a contact lens thermal cleaner to achieve the same effect. Or at least to do part of the job. You should still use a cleaner to remove dirt and protein deposits from your contacts, and you must rinse them thoroughly afterwards, but a thermal unit can be used to disinfect the lenses afterwards.
The procedure for cleaning your lenses using a contact lens thermal cleaner is as [...]

Hand washing is a simple act with a huge impact. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says washing your hands properly reduces the transmission of pathogens to food, water, people, and common objects such as hand railings, door knobs, and grocery carts. Washing your hands is important all the time, but it is especially important during the holidays when you are exposed to crowds of people.
According to the CDC, the “fundamental principle of hand washing is removal [of [...]
