Keep the Flu at Bay With These Tips

How to Keep Air-borne Viruses Under Control in Your Home

Colds and flu’s are caused by viruses. They enter into the system of our bodies through the air we breathe in our homes, office and other enclosed buildings. During winter, the risk is much higher considering that many people spend more time in doors with their windows and doors closed. With this scenario, it is important for everyone to know how to control air-borne infections caused by viruses and bacteria. The following are the common ways to prevent air-borne viruses to spread in our homes.

Charlotte, NC Air Filtration ServicesWash your hands

It is the most common and certainly the best line of defense. As we touch objects in the house, our hands and other parts of the body in contact get microbes which eventually spread through touching and greeting other people. Washing your hands with running water is usually the best way to reduce the chances of getting sick whether at school or work or spreading the virus to other people.

Air purifier

It is one of the greatest way to remove airborne germs out of our homes. They are very effective because they remove even the smallest virus and bacteria and can use a specialized UV light to kill the viruses and bacteria. It is important to have a good ventilation system in your home but that would be quite effective with an air purifier because it adds to its efficiency.

Use antiseptic spray

There are some sprays with antiseptic, which are made to scientifically prevent diseases caused by air-borne viruses and bacteria. These antiseptic spray kill almost 100% of the airborne germs in our homes and they last about six hours in air. Antiseptic spray is very useful to prevent illness according to Infectious Disease Society of America. Since the spray is cheap, quick to use and easiest way to reduce germs in the air, it is important to have it in your home, especially during winter.

Get regular immunizations

Many people believe that immunization is preserved for children but this is not true. In fact, the U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends adults to be immunized against diphtheria and tetanus. If you live in your home with many people and actually someone happens to have flu during winter, it is advisable for other members living in the same home to be immunized against flu. This would put flu under control and prevent other members in the house to be infected. Apart from preventing flu, other air-borne viruses are also prevented.
