Want to avoid infectious diseases? These kids have some smart advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. |

Cookie dough that's made with raw eggs could make you sicker than
a dog. Don't worry about cookie dough ice cream--the eggs
have been cooked. |
Many creatures--such as bats, raccoons, and squirrels--can
carry diseases. This is making me dizzy! |
||||
An apple a day WON'T keep the doctor away if you don't wash
it first. That goes for all fresh fruit and veggies. |
If you're in the woods with a lot of mosquitoes and ticks,
wear long sleeve shirts and long pants, and put on bug spray.
|
||||
Getting vaccinated against diseases could save your life. If you visit
a foreign country, ask your doctor about special shots. Ouch!!
|
Finish all the medicine your doctor prescribes--to the very
last pill or spoonful. And remember, don't share your medicine
with family or friends. |
||||
Raw meat is loaded with harmful bacteria. Make sure those burgers
are well-cooked. |
When you're sick, give your body time to heal. And try not
to spread germs--cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. |
||||
Harmful microbes can be lurking in water that hasn't been treated
for drinking. |
Scrub your hands clean! You don't want to get caught dirty-handed.
