RE: It might be one of those nights ... we might start dropping like flies!
@sumatranate may God heal and help any sick member of your family.. to answer your questions.
1: my family rarely share sickness, although it has occurred twice if i can remember but it was a long time ago when we generally had flu and also typhoid.
2:##### Get Vaccinated
The single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine each season.
Avoid close contact.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
Stay home when you are sick.
If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. This helps prevent spreading your illness to others.
Clean your hands.
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs using alcohol-based hand sanitizers
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
Germs are often spread when a person touches a surface or object that is contaminated with germs and then touches his/her eyes, nose, or mouth.
Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects.
Cleaning, disinfecting surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu can help slow the spread of influenza.
3: to treat an upset stomach we use natural remedies, like water from bitter leaves.
4: can't afford to have any member of the family sick, i love them all
@stevendion, thanks for the suggestions and kind words.
We have received flu vaccines this year, but it does not seem to help much where we live. My wife is always making sure that our house is clean. We encourage our kiddos to wash their hands often. But since our family is so young and so big, sometimes germs get shared.
I appreicate you stopping by and adding to the conversation. Until we meet again!
