Handsfree Dispenser

            Visit any school classroom or day care facility and you are sure to come across a child sneezing or coughing,especially since we are into flu and cold season. A sneeze is like a projectile.  It can travel with force for several feet   If you are in its path, you can breath in  the  germs in that sneeze. or touch objects that the sneeze reached.

       Kids do not think about these matters and so they sneeze right into the air. They need guidance and training to stop polluting the air.  Fortunately there is a product called Germy Wormy that can help kids learn how to sneeze and cough the right way.

        It is a DISPOSBLE sleeve that fits over the child’s elbow. Germy Wormy eats your germs they are told. This motivates the child to remember to sneeze or cough into the elbow onto the sleeve.  This establishes a healthy habit that  can continue into adulthood.  We hear about how to sneeze and cough because of  the HINI flu. This is one of the ways to help kids avoid the flu and colds.

     Influenza, the Flu, is on just everybody’s mind.  We read about it and hear it on television. They project that HINI, the Swine Flu  will become a problem.  So what can be done to  help prevent getting it?  Simple, common sense measures can go a long way.  They are:

            Wash your hands before eating

            Wash your hands after changing diapers, using the bathroom, pushing a shopping cart,  etc

           If you sneeze or cough, do it into your elbow.

          You can use disinfectant wipes on objects like doorknobs and motel TV remotes.

          Keep hand sanitizer handy in your car or pocket.

    Those who have compromised immune systems or who are pregnant need to do more with their doctors.  Everyone should be aware of their hands so as not to spread the flu.
