#1 Hot Spot For Germs at School

School is a hot zone for germs to live and spread. But whats the #1 spot for those germs to live and your child to pick them up? Most people will tell you that its the bathroom, but its not. According to Dr. Harley Rotbart, a professor at the University of Colorado the bathroom is regularly cleaned and the toilet seat is probably cleaner than most surfaces. Its actually the drinking fountain that is the #1 hot spot for germs! GROSS Dr. Rotbart adds “Plus, its the perfect spot for kids to ingest these microorganisms as they put their mouths on the stream of water — or right on the fountain itself”.

So what can you do to give your child the best chance to avoid the germs, and help their immune systems respond properly when they do get exposed to high levels of germs at school?

  1. Bring their own water bottle to school.
  2. Cafeteria trays are a hot spot (they aren’t cleaned well) teach them to use hand sanitizer after they sit down to eat and before they pick up their food.
  3. Make sure your child gets their vitamins and minerals to support body functions and healthy immune system. Liquid vitamins are absorbed 60% more than the gummy or pills so throw those gummy’s out! They also stick to the surface of teeth and cause cavities. Use Children’s liquid vitamins by natures energy! Food today doesn’t contain as much nutrition as it used to. Due to soil nutrient depletion from over farming and artificial fertilizers, so even if your eating healthy; using a supplement to ensure their getting what their body needs is highly beneficial.
  4. Don’t make your kids paranoid – germs for healthy people are a part of life! – and also part of building a healthy immune system. Practice good habits and take preventative measures but don’t go overboard.
  5. Make sure your child gets 10 – 11 hours of sleep every night. Sleep deprivation lowers the immune system’s ability to fight off infection according to the the CDC.
