Shield Yourself From Infection Ms. Bailey

Ways to Protect Against Infection Avoid people with colds or the flu. Bathe daily and gently dry your skin. Use lotion to help prevent cracks in your skin. Prevent cuts or scrapes, which can provide places for infection to enter your body. Handle sharp objects with caution. Wear protective gloves when appropriate. If you get a cut or scrape, cover it with a clean bandage until it heals. Always wash your hands with soap and plenty of water to avoid transmission of infection through things that you touch.
