Its flu season and it has been going around and spreading like a wildfire. There are many ways to prevent the flu and some of them I think people tend to over look. Also, people tend to not follow simple things when it comes to flu season.

1. Flu Shot

A lot of places offer flu shots but this is one of the more effective ways to not get the flu. If you get the flu even after a flu shot then it may have been either different strain of the flu or evolved strain.

2. Washing your hands

Simplest thing to do if you want to prevent the flu. Washing your hands after you use the restroom will decrease the chance of you getting the flu.

3. Cover your mouth

When you yawn, sneeze, cough, etc.. you should always cover your mouth to keep those around you from coming into contact with your germs. Sick or not it will help. Because if you are sick and you don't cover your mouth there is good chance you will get someone sick

4.Germ X

When you are unable to wash your hands make sure you have or know where some germ x is and use it. Even if you already washed your hands use germ x as a back up. Have some at work as well.

5. Careful with money

This is also plays in with germ x. Be careful when handling money because you don't know where it and been or anything. Always, use germ x after handling money of any sort.

6. Stay home when told

If you feel a fever coming on either stay home or go see a doctor. You don't need to be around others who feel fine. Because you don't want them getting sick as well.

A lot of people don't do this because they don't ever feel the need to but it does help fight the flu.

7. Go to the doctor

The doctor is the best thing to do if you like you are sick or you are getting sicks. This way you can tell for sure and then get meds to fight off the flu.
