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 ..... 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 Infection- most 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

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

Hello Carole- I carry a hand sanitizer in my purse - but alcohol pads are a good idea as well !-
Hello Elaine- Glad I could remind you - allergies make you have itchy eyes, so please continue to use those drops (and be careful not to touch the dropper tip to your eyelid - this contaminates it with germs from your skin :(
I guess once a nurse, always a nurse LOL

Hello Julie- It very well could be the reason for your frequent illness....My oldest daughter wore contacts in college and was always sick from hand eye transfer of germs (and living in close quarters in a dorm/sorority did not help either:) ...when she switched to disposable contacts and changed them weekly- she did much better - and now in law school she wears eye-glasses and (knock on wood) I can't recall her last cold or flu...Hope this post helps you then!

Great advice.. I rub my eyes when I get an allergic reaction and they itch. I'll refrain until I can't stand it any more.
Thank you for the tips!
Hello Armando - try a clean cool compress instead! Hope that helps.
