House

table.If you are going to cook chicken or turkey as a whole, rather than sliced, know that birds can be picked up from several intestinal diseases.And blame - the wrong defrosting.To thawed whole bird carcass, you must, as a rule, 5-8 hours, during which time the meat quietly can be got uninvited guests.They will be even more if you put the bird under the hot water temperature is optimal for bacteria.So it is better to do everything quickly: Use the microwave, and then take you no more than 40 minutes.

children.Little fidget constantly grab what is not necessary, and pulled it into his mouth.They play on the floor, stroking stray cats digging in the snow, and with great reluctance to wash their hands.We then wipe their noses and get all the infection, which they managed to collect.And it is much more contagious kids than adults, because, as a rule, are the primary carriers of the disease, not the carriers.

The store

handles.New Year's Day - the busiest period for the stores.Millions of people flock to for gifts, food, clothing and Christmas trees ... and share their sores with all the counter.The germs can settle anywhere - for example, on the door handles and shopping trolleys.Under normal conditions, the cold plastic or metal contagion does not survive, but in the New Year turmoil trolley pass from hand to hand every five minutes - germs just do not have time to die and fall to the skin yet healthy buyer.

queues.If next to you (or even in the neighboring offices) is someone who has the flu, a chance to catch very large.In 5-10 minutes contaminated exhale far more germs than it would get into the air from a sneeze or cough of intense.Standing idle in a long queue, you will not even know that the next - the source of infection.

escalator.Take the stairs on foot many of the townspeople just weaned.And for good reason.Firstly, it does not allow to grow fat, and secondly, the charging of the escalator - he was still a hotbed of infection.Specialists of the University of Arizona conducted a study and found that about a fifth of the visitors supermarkets not wash their hands.

The hands of 19% of study participants were found microparticles of urine, blood and excrement, which are excellent food for bacteria.

Outdoor

Transport.More live influenza virus for about 8 hours after it leaves the body of the wearer.Once you touch it, for example, rail chair he was sitting on the patient, and then rub your eyes - and you get infected.In the airport you can catch almost any exotic plague, which brought with him a foreign visitor or tourist who returned home.

Gastronomy.Tables and trays of street eateries - the ideal environment for bacteria.Remains of food, constant heat and dampness - all that is necessary for the reproduction of infection.And no rags, which are often the only means of disinfection, can not cope with them.

At work

Banquet.Door handles, telephones and common keyboard - everything in the office is also contagious, as in the supermarket.Is that likely to pick up an infection a little less, because passes through the office are not many people.But worst of all - New Year's banquet buffet.Imagine how many people will pass canapes which you eat.And by the way, after a sneeze or cough the bacteria can be spread in a radius of about one meter.Also in the crowd of colleagues, employees often share a plate with a fork or with each other, and also transmit the disease.
