Time to Learn new habits

We are slaves of our habits. Some good and few bad habits are included in our daily routine. There are also some habits which we don't care about. It means that we are not aware of these very common habits may be a cause of infection and diseases like COVID 19.

                      Due to coronavirus transmission, we must have to change our daily habits which we never noticed earlier.

Do not touch face 

A very common habit of everyone which we never know many times we touch our faces in a day. Sometimes we itch our nose, ear, chick, head, and eyes more than 100 times in a day. We never notice this even we have this habit since our birth.                                                               But, now we understand this habit may be a cause of our death. So, we will find another way of itching our face. Some people will use an object like a pen or something else to solve their itching problem. Another way is to wear hand gloves while itching your face.

                                                                                                                                         

Beware of your cough, sneeze and spit 

Most people never cover their faces or mouth when it comes to sneeze or cough. even when they are surrounded by people or they are alone. Our sneeze and cough are the transport system for infection. They carry the passengers ( bacteria and viruses) from one destination to next.
            Our other common bad habit is spitting here and there. Whenever spit comes in our mouth we never find the right place to dispose of it.
     It's time to aware of this habit and changes it.

No more double dipping


There is one person in a group who double-dip his snacks at the common bowl. It is our habit to share our food with our friends and family. they take a bit out of their snacks and then consciously stick it back in the dip again.
   We also use a spoon for our common food. Spoon carries saliva from a sick person that contains infections germs into the bowl which may infect other people who are sharing his food in a common bowl. To protect our health, we must serve individual plates to our guests. This habit will save us from any infection.

Need to clean our phone daily

One of the dirtiest objects we always carry with us. It is scientifically proved that our mobile carries more bacteria than our toilet seat. We carry this device even we are eating and don't think about this bacteria carrying device.
      Now, it's time to notice our habit and always try to clean our phone daily. We should also disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. This may avoid infection from our bodies.




Avoid eating without washing


Sometimes our hunger doesn't allow us to think about what and how we are eating. Every person has germs and bacteria on their hands. Which is then transferred to fruits and vegetables. If a sick person has touched that food earlier and you are eating that fruit without washing it and your hand that means you are putting yourself at risk for illness.
     COVID 19 has taught us a very important lesson to understand bacteria and infection.
