    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!

    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!
