I am sure you have heard about the spread of disease that has grown more urgent of late.
There are many reasons for this but the most important one involves the lack of education.
In any case, the best way to avoid coming in contact with this illness is to avoid hospitals and doctors offices as much as possible. Of course, washing your hands and avoiding others who are sick plays a big role in this as well. There is one thing that many people don’t consider when trying to stay healthy. We disinfect the surfaces in our home, try and keep clean and avoid hazards, but, how may consider the HVAC system in their homes or businesses? I would venture to say, not many. Whenever we have a bout with flu or colds in our home I change the filter in our HVAC system. Even if it is not the scheduled time for it to be replaced I change it I still do it because I want any germs or bacteria out of my house. If people would only realize that simple steps, like changing your filter, could save them from continually spreading germs that can be making their family or coworkers sick. Filters are designed to remove these from your home or office but, once they are filled with them, they need to be removed. A fresh filter is an inexpensive way to keep you safe. I always keep a supply of them in the basement so I don’t have to worry about it when I decided to change them out. Educating the public is an important way to help stop the spread of any illness and the recent outbreaks could be slowed if more people paid attention to the simple rules to stop it.
