Kids and the Flu
October 30, 2009
Schools, college dorms, and daycare centers are becoming breeding places for the flu and Swine flu. The college students and older children can be made aware of hand contamination and how to sneeze and cough without polluting the air with germs. The younger children however need more to motivate them into good habits.
A sneeze can propel a lot of germs into the air if not shielded. To a lesser extent, so can a cough. Flus are transmitted by contact with the flu virus in the air or by contaminated hands which then touch the mouth or nose.
One easy way to help younger chidren stay healthy is to teach them about handwashing and hand sanitizers and to have them available. As far as teaching proper sneezing and coughing, there is nothing better than a visual aide. That’s where Germy Wormy
comes in. The Germy Wormy disposable elbow sleeves have a picture of Germy Wormy who eats the germs that are sneezed or coughed. This is amusing to little kids so they try to sneeze and cough the right way. This can reduce the spread of infection from the children who might be coming down with the flu. Of course those who are sick should remain home.
