How to Protect Against Germs Outside the Home

It is easy to wipe out germs inside the protective walls of the home, the problem comes when venturing outside. The germ war becomes an entirely different thing outside. The problem is the public use of everything from shopping carts to door handles. These items become germ waiting points, just waiting for a host


Instructions
1. Leave the house fully prepared for germs. Keep some form of germ killer on your person. This can be hand sanitizer hand sanitizer or wipes, but keep them handy and ready to use in an instant. Also, put sanitizer on the hands right before going into the public place


2. Watch the things that are touched. If possible, wipe off the shopping cart before using it. Use a paper towel to place on the door handle before opening it. Push the door open with your backside inside the hand. All these things will help in keeping germs away.


3. Avoid unnecessary touching of items. Avoid constantly picking things up. Look at them on the shelf without touching the item.


4 Never touch your nose, mouth or face while in a public place. Germs will jump on the hand and head straight to the body.


5 Give that greeter a nod or verbal greeting. Avoid shaking hands as germs love jumping from hand to hand contact.


6. Bring your pen. Avoid using the pen that is just sitting there, touched by hundreds and filled with germs.


7 Wash hands ASAP when arriving home. Even when sanitizer is used, go right to the sink and get out the soap and hot water.
