Avoid Getting Meningitis By Following These 10 Tips

Cover Your Mouth

It is heard time and again during cold and flu season, and the practice of covering one’s mouth and nose when sneezing and coughing applies for minimizing the spread of meningitis. Cough and sneeze into the upper sleeve, rather than hands. Alternatively, sneeze into a tissue, which should be tossed in the garbage immediately after. Anyone working with the public should always have a bottle of antibacterial hand sanitizer nearby.
