Bird flu has been detected once again in a number of locations throughout the country.
It's that time of the year again. Flu thrives in cold climates.
Flu viruses can not move about on their own, they are hitchhikers.
There are some claims that up to 90% of flu transmissions in humans is by hand contact.
Touch a doorknob, shake a hands, and the like, and then scratch your face, or rub your eyes, and you are sure to get it.
During the flu season frequently washing your hands should be a priority if you want to avoid the flu.
Disposable hand towels containing alcohol are an ideal way of keeping your hands clean while traveling.
If your are traveling through farm country where poultry is raised free range,
it's even a good idea to wash the soles of your shoes.
The Thai way of greeting, the Wai, thus becomes a very sensible alternative to shaking hands.
Wear a hat
Fishing, golfing, gardening, farming,any outdoor activity: wear a hat or use an umbrella. Protect your skin.
Around here, even on seemingly cloudy days there is still enough sun out there to burn and give you skin cancer.
