Coughing, sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea and a runny nose are all evidence that the body is ridding itself of disease causing viruses or bacteria. While eliminating viruses and bacteria is part of the healing process, it is also why it is so easy for a sick person to contaminate the places they touch. The most common so-called stomach flu is caused by noroviruses. (True flu or influenza is a respiratory illness.) It takes a very tiny amount of virus to make us sick: A handshake from an unwashed hand, or a salad or sandwich prepared by unwashed hands after visiting the restroom, can transmit enough viruses to make us sick. It is no wonder that infections occur frequently in confined areas such as cruise ships. While most stomach flu is caused by viruses, bacteria contaminated food can also cause food borne illness. This USDA chart lists disease-causing bacteria, the associated foods and symptoms along with the steps needed to prevent food borne illness. We are shocked to learn that our computer keyboard, kitchen sink, phone handset, remote control, and the refrigerator handle might harbor more germs per square inch than a toilet seat! Indeed our kitchens harbor bacteria in places where we may miss cleaning such as the refrigerator-water dispenser and the rubber gasket on most blenders. Two-part spatulas, can openers, and the refrigerator meat and vegetable compartments also have the highest germ counts. THANK YOU Melaleuca for giving my family Sol u Guard. A tool to fight and kill the bacteria and viruses WITHOUT filling our lungs with caustic fumes. The peace of mind that comes with being a Melaleuca customer.......I love it!!!!
