Wash your hands frequently. Try to avoid people and places that harbor people who are ill. Take good care of yourself and drink plenty of water.  Eat a balanced diet and exercise or get out side regularly.  All of these things will help your immune system stay healthy and help to combat illness.

Answer 4

I'm an embalmer so I use Universal Precautions whenever I'm handling human remains.....gown, head/foot covers, double gloves, mask, goggles as well as ventilation to the outside to keep fresh air circulating in the room.  For my own safety, I treat every remains as if they were highly infectious.  It only takes one careless mistake to become a statistic.

Routinely I keep disinfectant wipes in my car and I use them to wipe shopping cart handles, door k***s in public washrooms.  All fruit and veggies are thoroughly washed when I first bring them home and I'm very careful with hand washing and keeping my fingernails clean
