[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 332065, member: 1697"] Absolutely the #1 treatment, and #1 prevention for infectious issues is defense-washing hands- with running water is best. the soap facilitates the waters ability to wash the bacteria away. there are videos online im sure that show how to properly wash hands. but our skin is our #1 biggest defense against harmful organisms entering our body- and if we harm the skin, we permit bacteria an entry point. so we do want to be careful to keep skin intact and not subject it to harsh chemicals and too much friction. you do not need a strong soap, nor do you need HOT water. it is the action of the water running that removes the bacteria and washes it down the drain. and yes you are correct, rest, fluids, good diet, good sleep patterns, etc makes for good treatment, and also good defense. and keep hands away from mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth etc) I DO however give a disinfectant swipe to all doorknobs, cabinet knobs, lite switches the toilet flush handle, the faucets (where you turn them to make the water run) the phone and car steering wheel and remotes. I dont get nuts with it, but do it a couple times a week. and I toss anyones toothbrush who has been sick. [/QUOTE]
