 Infection Prevention eNews Letter:
Respect Your Respiratory Membranes beginning with International Infection Prevention Week Oct 13-19, 2019!

Remember these mucous membranes are the ONLY portal of entry into the human body for ALL respiratory infections (and GI infections)!
 
Remember there are MANY viruses that you "give yourself": CMV, RSV, Flu, parainfluenza, Coxsackie and many more that do not have vaccine protection.

Then there is MRSA, Strep, C difficile, E coli and many more bacteria that enter our body through our respiratory mucous membranes.

First you ALL need this knowledge, second with the awareness you can take steps to change your behavior and third, I ask that you teach others about your self actualization to help them stay well!
Our Intention is to launch this intentional training to treat our respiratory mucous membranes with more respect, by NOT contaminating them with an organism that will make you sick!

For the past 20 years I have been intentional about promoting the concept of Hand Hygiene Awareness, although with minimal success, in my mind, as it requires changing one's behavior which can be very difficult. But if you do it will reward you more than you can imagine! 

Hand Awareness is defined as knowing where your hands are and what they are doing at ALL times!

Please help "Spread the word not the germs"! Just for the Health of it!
