STAY HEALTHY

The only portals of entry for the H1N1 virus are the nostrils and

 mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to

 avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact

 with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.

 While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection,

 in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development

 of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in

 most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how

 to stock N95 or Tamiflu):

 1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).

 2. " Hands-off-the-face " approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part

 of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).

 3. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust

 salt). H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal

 cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling

 prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same

 effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't

 underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.

 4. Similar to 3 above, clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm

 salt water. Blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with

 cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down

 viral population.

 5. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C. If you

 have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc

 to boost absorption.

 6. Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. Drinking

 warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction.

 They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where

 they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
