FESTIVE SEASONS are great until you come down with stomach flu/gastroenteritis/diarrhea
Here are a few ways to avoid spending the holidays in the toilet:
(1). Hand Hygiene
Hand washing with soap has been proven to reduce the risk of stomach flu/gastroenteritis by 47%.
Be sure to wash your hands often especially after using the toilet and before handling food whether you're cooking or eating it. Also be sure that your little ones wash their hands.
Hand washing (or handwashing), also known as hand hygiene, is the act of cleaning hands for the purpose of removing soil, dirt, and microorganisms.
If you have to eat out, eat only at trusted eateries.
Ensure to prepare foods properly and preferably eat them when they are still hot. Wash vegetables, fruits and salads properly before eating. If you'll be travelling, stick to food and water from reliable sources.
(3). Store Food Properly
If you need to keep them for more than a few hours then store them appropriately.
(4). Kitchen Hygiene
Keep your kitchen clean and disinfected.
Kitchen hygiene therefore, is the maintenance of high standards of cleanliness and sanitation in the kitchen to prevent food contamination. It also includes adequate care for cooking ranges i.e. shelves, cupboard, sink, floor and the ceiling. In other words, kitchen hygiene brings about a clean kitchen.
Ensure your little ones have received rotavirus vaccine if they haven't already. Rotavirus is the most common cause of gastroenteritis in children.
Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent diseases. A vaccine helps the body’s immune system to recognize and fight pathogens like viruses or bacteria, which then keeps us safe from the diseases they cause. Vaccines protect against more than 25 debilitating or life-threatening diseases, including measles, polio, tetanus, diphtheria, meningitis, influenza, tetanus, typhoid and cervical cancer.
