A quick washing won’t do the trick. _小题2: l Keep your hands away from your face to reduce the chance of delivering viruses directly to your eyes or nose. _小题3: l Make certain you’re getting vitamin E and other complex vitamins and minerals including A, C and B. These have properties(特性)that improve immune response. _小题4: l Don’t smoke. Smoke stops the hair like cells in the nose and airways from sweeping incoming viruses away before they can infect people. l Use paper handkerchiefs, not cloth handkerchiefs to reduce spread of infection. l Reduce stress.
