Being sick the last few days I have had several friends stear clear fo me like I had the plague or swine flu, can't say I blame them either.

So it prompted me to do a little blogging about when are you contagious and when is it "safe" to be around people again. This goes for Flu and Common Cold.

To keep it simple and short.

First onset of Symptoms wait 7 days

After last symptoms wait 24 hours

Cold Virus can stay on things like stair rails, phones, refrigerators etc...for up to 2 days

Did you know:

Exercise is one of the best ways to keep from getting sick, just moderate exersice daily can reduce the risk by 33% hmmm no wonder we as Americans get sick, 2/3's of us are overweight.
