It's cold and flu season again, and the most innocent of objects could be your greatest health threat. Germs are hiding everywhere. One of the worst places…your grocery cart. The cart handles are bad in terms of mucus and saliva, because half of American children put their mouths on those things. Next up, that first floor elevator button. It's exceptionally dirty, and a prime place to catch a cold. Escalator handrails are bad as well. And we can’t forget about your work desk. The average desk area in an office has 400 times more bacteria on it than the average toilet seat. And finally, it’s something you do probably everyday….shake hands. It's simple: You cover your mouth, sneeze, forget to wash your flu-virus-laden hands, and then politely press palms with your real estate agent. So protect yourself this year from the flu and get a flu shot.
Ladies, if you’re looking for a little relaxation, St. John’s can help. We are providing a day of pampering at Oasis Salon and Day Spa tomorrow, November 2nd. Our Mobile Mammography unit will be there from 9 - 4 and anyone who gets their mammogram that day will get a free t-shirt. There will also be specials on spa packages. For more info, call St. John’s Referral One at 625-2000 or log onto stj.com.
