Swine Flu and Flu Pandemic -- How to Reduce the Risk of Infections

Infection prevention more important than ever, say world experts.  The World Health Organisation has urged countries to prepare for a Swine Flu pandemic as it raised its pandemic alert status to five on Thursday – one level from a full pandemic – after confirmation of sustained transmission between humans. The UK government is preparing to issue advice leaflets to every home on how to prevent the spread of the feared H1N1 virus, with a focus on good hand hygiene.

Infection Control experts fear the possible mutation of the highly pathogenic Swine Flu virus H1N1 now suspected in the UK will trigger a flu pandemic, putting millions of lives at risk The British Government’s Chief Medical Officer, Professor Sir Liam Donaldson, recently stated that "clean hands are the best defense against the threatened flu pandemic."

The best protection from the risk of disease is good hygiene

Bacteria and Viruses are transferred from hand to hand every time you touch a surface or have manual human contact. These pathogens pass into the body when you touch your hands to an aqueous or mucous membrane such as the eyes, nose or mouth. On average, you touch your face, five times in every 5 minutes. It is not always possible to wash hands as often as we should and inevitably even the cleanest hands are re-infected.

Regular hand washing dramatically reduces the chance of infection. This is where a hand sanitizer provides the protection we need. Although you can greatly reduce your chances of infection by consciously avoiding rubbing your mouth, nose and eyes.

Children have a propensity to touch everything. NO-GERMS™ has been designed to be child friendly. It is suitable for regular use and won't damage the skin like alcohol gels.
