Answers:
Buy a canister of those bleach wipes, and wipe down surfaces regularly. Include the phone--especially the mouth area, but the whole thing, including the number pad. Wipe down door knobs. Wipe down things like the refrigerator door. Basically any hard surface which will hold germs.
Don't share beverages, or utensils. Make sure that if you taste something while cooking, you don't taste off someone else's spoon or fork.
Use Zicam swabs. Those simply kill all the bacteria in your nose, but they work wonders. I have always ended up with a cold when I travel on an airplane, and those kept me from getting one on my last two long trips, despite the fact that I sat right next to people with colds twice.
Avoid contact with little kids of school age. If you are in contact with them, wash your hands regularly, and make sure you don't touch their body fluids. If you have to help out and wipe a nose or something similar, wash right afterward.
Avoid touching your face. That's how most cold germs get to us. We get them on our hands, but we carry them to our faces ourselves.
That's all I can think of for now. Good luck.Health Question & Answer

Airborne fizzy tablets (at drug stores) work wonders for me. The other day my son started sneezing and had a runny nose. It got worse the next day. I gave him an Airborne drink and by the time he went to school, all his symptoms completely went away. Eat LOTS of fresh garlic. Cooked garlic isn't quite so good to fight viruses, but still helps. Load it onto salads, meats, spaghetti sauce--it was used by Albert Schweitzer before the days of antibiotics, when he worked as a doctor in the African jungles. It works wonders for me every time I get a cold.
Cold-ez lozenges are also good, but they make me too nauseous. It has zinc in them, which bind to the viral particles.
Onions are also good. Health Question & Answer
