The flu is on the rise. Don’t wait till the last minute, start preventing symptoms before its too late. Here are 8 tips to help you win the battle against influenza.

Wash your hands (in case it wasn’t obvious)
With soap. Furthermore, if you work in a warehouse or laboratory environment, you might also want to invest in disposable gloves to protect your hands and anything that you need to touch. If you would like to learn more about the benefits of wearing gloves, phs Direct are the leading supplier of Bulk nitrile gloves to help assist with good hygiene. Take a look at some of the resources on their website for further information.

Shots, Shots, Shots! (Everybody!)
Get your flu shot from your local urgent care, and nip that virus in the bud.

Wash your mouth out with Soap (not literally)
Try to abstain from sharing food and drink with friends and loved ones.

Don’t be a Litterbug
Dispose of those used Kleenex ASAP; you’ll end up being the host of a germ breeding ground if you don’t.

Hibernate
Sleep is extremely important. Take a nap and let your body do the rest. (Get it?)

Treat Yourself!
De-stress your mind and body with a massage, a good book, or the classic Netflix marathon. Give your body a break.

Skip the Big Macs
Eating healthy and exercising will boost your immunity, and prevent your chances of getting sick.

Seriously, wash your hands.
How many times do we have to tell you people !?

Stay warm, safe and healthy out there.
