FLU PREVENTION TIP>>>>>Please Don't Rub Your Eyes....

Ok, so this post is not really Real Estate Related unless you take into consideration that Your Health effects Your Business!

 I Do believe your Health is Your WEALTH - if you disagree ...try living with NO HEALTH  ...I'd bet you'd trade money to get it back:)

So here's ONE Health tip/suggestion for you & your families this FLU season:

Our intact skin is the greatest BARRIER against infection....covering almost our entire body.. well almost ..... our EYES can be a Vulnerable area that receives bacteria & viruses from our fingertips.....especially if we rub them with our hands which really can pick up alot of germs! (Thats why Handwashing is the #1 way to prevent the spread of germs.).

Although there are many things that impact our susceptibility to illness, common sense dictates the possibility of transfer of germs from hand to eye contact since......

Our eyes are very vascular (filled with blood vessels) and only have a thin layer covering them (conjunctiva) so they are perfect entry points to absorb bacteria & viruses into the body!

With the COLD and FLU season approaching, with the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping, preparation, parties and lack of SLEEP...the first thing you may have a habit or tendency of doing when tired is.....

Rubbing your eyes....my nieces & nephews do it all the time and I always tell them 

PLEASE DON"T RUB YOUR EYES HONEY... I Don't want you to Get sick....... 

( and go into an explanation of the above to my relatives as well :)

Here are other Tips to Prevent the Spread of Infectionmost of you already know many of these...

but the one about rubbing those eyes- the entry point for those germs to get in ....is the one I mention to loved ones & friends (young and not so young :) time & time again- because it's easy to forget and do this when your tired:)

An ounce of prevention......is worth more than a pound of cure....LOL

Here's wishing you & yours Healthy and Happiness!

Sincerely,

Grace Safrin
