I cannot tell you how much we are sick in our house. Well.. ME, actually. Lack of immunity, I guess, but either way, there is always a box of Kleenex in our house, if not more than one. I am now a stay at home mommy and Tucker goes to preschool twice a week, but it seems as if he brings home something for our family to spread around for the next month. Oh, the joys!

I Battle the Bug all year long by washing my hands healing constantly.
We wash our hands a lot and have taught our kids to sneeze into their elbow if they don’t have a tissue handy — a lot better than sneezing into the air or their hands!
We always wash our hands and use wipes when we are out. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!

Wash our hands alot! My husband works for Customs taking care of their planes so with this Swine Flu and them flying over the border and then him servicing the planes, he washes and showers as soon he gets in from swing shift. We take our vitamins and try to heat balanced. I nursed.
PROPER HANDWASHING is important. Teach the kids to sing “Happy Birthday” twice to get them to wash long enough.

Handwashing is a must, as well as avoiding touching the eyes and nose. We carry hand sanitizer everywhere, as well!
I wash my hands often.
We wash our hands several times a day
We battle the bug here by eating lots of oranges. Drinking water. Wiping doorknobs and telephone receivers with diluted vinegar and water spray. I tell my kids to wash their hands after school and I try and have something to clean their hands in the car when we have been out to a mall or other public space. I tried to subscribe to your feed but the feederblitz didn’t cooperate
Thanks for the giveaway…Our Battle of The Bug consists of obsessive hand washing when entering the house (especially when school is in session), flu shots, and for my wife & I, a morning glass of fresh fruit / vegetable juice with a crushed clove of garlic mixed in the glass.
We eat healthy and get plenty of rest!

We eat organic fruits and veggies, I cook from scratch and make my own keifer and exercise.
My daughter was born with a weak immune system, so she is constantly sick, which is hard, because when she is at school they think they should send her home because she looks so bad, with her nose running and her eyes watering, so these tissues would be greatly appreciated!
I am pretty strict about my boys always washing their hands or using Purell. I try to clean my toilets several times a week because being boys they always are lifting the seat! Well the 6 yo is but the 2yo copies so lol
Thanks!

We wash our hands quite often…GERM EX ALL THE TIME…drink lots of water…eat lots of veggies and get plenty of REST!!
We try and avoid getting sick in the first place by taking immune system supplements, drinking water and getting enough rest but if we do get sick we get on heavy doses of vitamins and soup to get better fast! We always use kleenex brand because they are not so rough on your nose so we would love some more!
subscriber
we try to eat lots of fruits and veggies so we dont get sick if we do good old fashioned chicken soup and lots of hand washing
Once your kids start walking you learn to never leave home without kleenex and hand sanitizer. Who knows what all they touch!!
I’m drink lots of OJ to keep the buggies away!
I try to stay healthy by taking a multi vitamin and mineral plus fish oil every day. I also excercise. Oh, and stay away from sick people
We don’t get sick very often but when it hits I don’t handle it well. I think that’s because it only comes around once or twice a year. We don’t believe in sanitizing everything because if we aren’t exposed to ordinary bacteria we don’t build up our immune system.
When we come in contact with someone who is sick we are careful to wash our hands and try to avoid direct contact.

We eat properly, take vitamins and exercise.
I have become a regular (my friends would say obsessive) user of hand sanitizer – seriously, I keep a bottle in my bag, my office, and almost every room of my house. I’ve also made an effort to take Vitamin C and immunity supplements more often, and I’ve noticed that simple changes to my diet, such as eating more fresh fruits and drinking as much water as possible, have made a huge difference in battling the bug.

I battle the bug all year long by frequent hand-washings and keeping anti-bacterial hand soap/wipes accessible. I keep Lysol in my classroom and take Airborne and up my anti-oxidants (zinc, Vit E, Ester-C and garlic) at the first sign of a cold. I’ve not had one in over two years. (Knocks wood.)
My family drinks lots of water and try to take Zicam if we feel a bug coming on.

We battle the bug all year round by my nagging my kids all the time to wash their hands, and I have fruity smelling anti-bacterial soap pumps at all the sinks, the kids tend to wash their hands more when they like the sweet fruity scent of the soap, and I don’t get mad if they play and splash the water around a little, I’d rather have them wash their hands without a battle and clean up a little water around the sink, than have them defy me and not wash their hands. I also always carry Purel hand sanitizer with me when we go out and always ask my kids to rub their hands in it if they have been playing with other children and touching lots of toys or doors that many other people have touched. I think this combined with great healthy diet and lots of sleep help somewhat to keep everyone healthy!
I make sure that my family washes their hands properly and often to battle the bug all year round!
We wash our hands as often as we can, and use lots of disinfecting sprays.
