Are You Guilty of the Worst Cold and Flu Habits?

not only should you keep your toothbrush separate, but you should also use your own toothpaste.  Toothpaste also can spread germs.  I know because I used my grandson's toothpaste after he had recovered from the flu.  It was the same toothpaste that he had used when he had the flu.  I should have known better.  I came down with the flu within a day or two.g

Readers should weigh whether or not Allison Janse qualifies as an "expert" on this subject.  She is a free-lance writer.  This "germ freak's" personal obsession with health habits merely feeds into the rampant obssessive compulsive behavior that is becoming popular fodder for every run-of-the mill enewsletter out there.

Ask yourselves--do we need another enewsletter to tell us to wash our hands or could we possibly have learned that in early childhood?  And if you do need the enewsletter to give you such golden nuggets of advice, you're a bit pathetic.  Stop the worrying and anxiety.  Stop the obsession.  And stop the drivel that fills enewsletters, which are really just trying to promote products and display advertising.  As if you need more of that, too?

My son has learned to 'do the elephant' (cough into his inner elbow) and is teaching his

friends at kindergarten.  Watch this great video for kids:
