Wash Your Own Dishes
Yes, washing dishes is definitely a drag; and when you’re living with someone else, you might have a deal to do all the dishes every other night. But during flu season, you don’t want to strike that kind of deal. In order to lessen the chance of exposure to the flu virus, you need to limit those you come in contact with, including the items they touch.
This means you need to be cautious when handling things like food and utensils, because the flu virus can be transmitted through contact with these things if someone else is ill. That means you shouldn’t share food with someone who’s been exposed, and you shouldn’t do their dishes either.
