5 Tips to Avoid Passing On a Winter Cold

There are probably a billion things you could do to avoid a cold this winter. But if those worked 100 percent of the time, nobody would get sick.

 

Instead, here are five things you can do to avoid passing on the nasty germs to your loved ones. Or do the complete opposites if you want to pass a cold on to your enemy.

5. Make all phone calls on your cell phone. Prevents ugly germs getting on office or home phones which could be used by others.

 

4. Sneeze into your elbow. Sure, it prevents germs from making camp on your grubby hands, but it also looks pretty funny in public.

 

3. Don’t let used tissues linger around the house. Toss them quickly after use.

 

2. Flick light and other electrical switches with the side of your hand or wrist. Instead of with your grubby, germ-infested hands.

 

1. Imagine how many pens you paw with your disgusting hands. The bank, the grocery store, the post office. Take your own. Make everyone around you happier.
