Respiratory infections such as colds, coughs and the flu, affect the nose, throat and lungs. The germs (viruses and bacteria) that can cause these infections are spread person-to-person in the air or by physical contact. Tips to help prevent spreading germs or avoiding catching someone else's germs include:

Keep your germs to yourself:

  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your arm.
  • Throw out used tissues in the trash as soon as you can.
  • Always wash your hands after sneezing, blowing your nose, coughing, or after touching used tissues or handkerchiefs. Also wash often if you are sick.
  • Use warm water and soap or alcohol-based hand sanitizers to wash your hands.
  • Try to stay home if you have a cough or fever.
  • See your doctor as soon as you can if you are feeling ill and follow their instructions.
  • Do NOT share personal items, such as cigarettes, towels, lipstick, or anything that may be contaminated with respiratory germs.
  • Do NOT share food, utensils, or beverage containers with others.
  • Keep your immunizations current.
