    Humble Beginnings

    Travel Safety and Germs

    On 29 August 2018, “Deposition of respiratory pathogens on frequently touched surfaces at airports” was published by BMC Infectious Diseases. Of the surfaces tested in this research, the plastic security screening trays showed the highest risk.

    What about the self-help ticketing kiosks?

    Don’t worry if you look like a fanatic!

    You can use anti-bacterial wipes on armrests, kiosks, tray tables, headrests, door handles, toilet lids and handles, and more.

    But let’s face it, we can’t wipe down the whole airport. Got gloves? There are escalator handrails, shop payment buttons, stair rails, counters…

    Wash your hands often, sterilize what you can, glove-up if you’re able to, and try not to touch areas like your nose, eyes and mouth. How many times a day do we touch our face?

    Can you imagine how much safer public places would be if everyone sanitized what they could?

    Stay well!

    If I Did One Thing…

    If I Did One Thing for Love

    “If I did one thing for love,

    I would strip away all that I thought I was

    And I would come to you

    As the littlest me and not bring you no excuse.

    Cuz you only saw

    The paper mache faces that I wore.

    And I did believe

    That those faces – they were part of me.

    But they weren’t.

    Now you can see me.”

    Immune Boost

    One great immune boost that I have used regularly is Emergen-C. It offers 1,000 mg of vitamin C plus B vitamins for a great boost at the first sign of colds or flu and is also good for regular immune system maintenance, protection and more.

    “Immune Support

    1,000 mg of vitamin C, plus other antioxidants zinc and manganese support your immune system.

    Energy

    7 B vitamins including B1, B2, B3, B4, B6, B9 & B12 enhance energy naturally -without caffeine

    Electrolytes

    Great for post-workout, replace key electrolytes lost through perspiration.”

    Survival by Zip Code

    In July 1995, one of the deadliest heat waves in US history was recorded in Chicago. Over 700 people died. And yet… how many people have even heard of this?

    Wellness Tip

    While working at an herb shop a few years ago, I learned about a wonderful immune system strengthener. I don’t take this every day, but it has been a wonderful prevention used at the first sign of a cold or not feeling well: Wellness Formula can really give your immune system a needed boost!

    “Wellness Formula addresses the root causes of winter season challenges with over 30 powerful ingredients, including antioxidants, herbal extracts, vitamins and minerals. These ingredients provide targeted support for all of the body systems associated with immunity.”

    The rainy night has been replaced with blue skies and bitter wind. It’s time to bundle up! 🧥

    Wellness Tip for Medical Workers

    Throughout the day, I am in and out of hospitals, loading and unloading patients for transport. I don’t have time to wash my hands every five minutes. I also don’t want sanitizer on my skin all day long.

    One thing that is emphasized with any virus alert or with flue season is to keep your hands clean, and to keep your hands away from your face.

    ***

    Skin-Saver

    One solution to putting sanitizer on my skin all day is keeping medical gloves on. I sanitize the hades out of my gloves all day – instead of my skin – and have clean gloves until I have a moment to wash my hands. You can also layer gloves and strip off the outer layer as needed.

    Stay well!
