The flu season is here, so it's time to start thinking proactively. First and foremost, if you start experiencing flu-like symptoms, please go to Stamps Health Services *immediately* so you can be properly diagnosed. Limit contact with others and do not attend class.Here are some steps you can take to prevent the spread of the flu:
1. Eat healthy meals, get plenty of sleep, use stress-reduction and relaxation techniques, and cut down on those beers.
2. WASH YOUR HANDS! Simple soap and water is the best way to prevent the spread of the flu. Use hot water and wash for as long as it takes to recite the alphabet.
3. Get vaccinated: follow your doctor's recommendation about the flu vaccine. Some populations are especially vulnerable, so the time to get vaccinated is now.
If you want more information on seasonal flu and the H1N1 virus (swine flu), visit the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/flu/basics.htm.
