A lot of times when we get sick – it’s because we brought the germs and bacteria into our own body with our own hands?

When you cough or sneeze – send the germs into your elbow – not your hands. Most people won’t ever touch their face with their elbow, but they will touch their face with their hands several times during a typical day.

We touch several things with germs during the day - including other people – who may not have washed their hands.

Remember to wash your hands often and try and keep hands away from your face. Try and wash your hands for as long as it takes to say the alphabet or sing the happy birthday song

Soap and water are the best plan for staying germ-free. Hand sanitizer is the next best thing.

Healthy Kids are no accident – be sure to wash your hands often and try to keep dirty hands away from your face.
