Guerilla Tactics Against Germs #564

Posting Date: 10/29/2005

Cold season is here and our best defense is appropriate hand washing. But can we become obsessive about germs?

Is it safer to wash your vegetables in the toilet than in the kitchen sink? What are the germiest places at work, at school and at home?

Our guests will give us practical information on how to outwit colds and flu and avoid other disease-causing organisms.

Guests: Charles Gerba, PhD, environmental microbiologist and professor at the University of Arizona. Allison Janse, trade book editor and co-author with Dr. Gerba of "The Germ Freak's Guide to Outwitting Colds and Flu."
