8/4/2019 Tips to Prevent the Spread of Infection

2/2

Some diseases have been resistant to the

currently available antibiotics. As a result,

controlling diseases and preventing infections

from spreading are more crucial than ever, and

doing so begins with each one of us.

Here are 10 tips to prevent

infection

1 Wash your hands frequently especially

before preparing food, before eating and

after using the restroom. Insist that your

health care providers wash their hands/

use alcohol hand rub and use gloves.

2 Many diseases are spread through sneezes

and coughs. When you sneeze or cough,

cover your mouth and nose with tissue.Be sure to throw away used tissues and

then clean your hands.

3 Dont insist that your physician give

you antibiotics if you dont need them.Antibiotics have no effect on illnesses

caused by viruses.

4 Take prescribed antibiotics exactly as

instructed; do not stop taking them

without checking with your physician,

even if the medicine makes you feel

better or worse.

5 Keep your immunizations up to date.

6 Follow safe sexual practices.

7 Do not use I.V drugs; if you do, do not

share needles.

8 Dont share personal items - such as

razor blades, tooth brushes, combs and

hairbrushes - and dont eat or drink from

others plates or glasses.

9 Dont send your child to a day care center or

to a school with symptoms of an infection-

such as vomiting, diarrhea or fever.

10 Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold,

especially when they will be left out for

a long time.
