So you’re sick – and you’ve been using the same tissue to blow your nose all morning. Is that a problem? Well, according to Dr. Wendy Bennett, an internist from Johns Hopkins, that ratty tissue won’t hurt you – but it could hurt those around you. Because each time you touch it, you’re touching your infected mucus germs – and then whatever you touch afterward will be contaminated with your virus. So grab a new tissue and use that. Or sneeze into your sleeve, since that’s less likely to touch other surfaces or people.

Afraid to shake their hand?

Don’t be afraid to shake people’s hands – that’s NOT what’s going to make you sick. Johns Hopkins researchers say germs on hands get quickly embedded in your skin oils, so they aren’t transferred to other people when you shake hands. What does transfer germs? Putting your hands to your face – and touching your eyes, nose or mouth! In fact, you can cut your risk of infections nearly in HALF by keeping your hands away from your face. Because even if you touch something contaminated – if you don’t touch your face, the germs won’t get into your system.

If your kid was vaccinated against the measles – but his friend wasn’t – cancel any playdates or sleepovers. Because even though the measles vaccine is 99% effective – that still leaves a 1% chance your kid can get sick. That’s according to the infectious disease experts at Seattle Children’s Hospital. So even though it’s a long-shot your kids will be infected, why risk it? And yes, the vaccine is safe. The Journal of the American Medical Association says there’s ZERO connection between vaccines and autism.
