The highly contagious flu is a type of viral infection, spread by contact with fluids from coughs and sneezes. It can lead to life-threatening complications, like pneumonia, and is obviously best avoided. Here’s some flu-busting tips, in the hopes of doing just that.
7. Keep it clean! Make it sparkle!
Good old cleaning - especially bathrooms, toilets and kitchens - can help to eradicate germs and keep your family as healthy as poss.
