on how to avoid colds? I work at the customer service desk and I can't run to the bathroom to wash my hands every time a customer with a cold comes up to me, so does anyone have any good tips to share?

get some sanitizers from your local store--it's not soap but it does good

take a multi-vitamin everyday. or at least get a lot of vitamin c. It will help keep your immune system up.

The disinfecting hand sanitizers are actually better than soap/water. Many people do not wash correctly or for the length of time required to kill germs.

Keep your work area and surfaces clean. In the bathroom, use paper towels to turn faucets on and off and when you exit the bathroom use a paper towel on the door knob...we all know not everyone washes their hands after using the restroom.

Echinacea can be very helpful for keeping colds away - as long as you don't have an autoimmune disease.

Start taking Euchanesia and zinc :D works wonders! Keeps the immune system up.... even if people sneeze on u lol Halls makes a great losenger that u can take for 3 months at a time. I worked with the public for many years and never got a cold or virus thru the winter time here.

I wanna say move to a warmer climate but I think this topic isn't about the weather, huh? I really need to pay better attention to the topic at hand

Garlic and vitamin C. You can buy those garlic in pill form so you do not stink of it all the time. And add in those hand sanitizers.

Lots of vitamin "C", lots of hand sanitizers and go buy ZICAM, it will stop a cold before it gets you. I use that and it is awesome

on how to avoid colds? I work at the customer service desk and I can't run to the bathroom to wash my hands every time a customer with a cold comes up to me, so does anyone have any good tips to share? Wear a surgical mask, goggles and latex gloves, don't put your hands to your mouth without disinfecting them first, and don't assume that just because someone is no longer symptomatic of a cold that they are not still producing a lot of viruses
