Buy plenty of hand sanitizer

When researchers from Children's Hospital in Boston studied 292 families for
five months, they found that those who carried hand sanitizers with them had
59 percent fewer cases of stomach bugs than nonusers. That's because, when
used correctly-squirt out enough gel so your hands still feel damp after
rubbing together for 10 to 15 seconds-these products nearly eliminate germs.

A bottle stashed in your purse (and in your husband's briefcase and the
kids' book bags) is an excellent alternative to washing if you've just
shaken a bunch of hands and can't get to a sink; look for ones that don't
require water and have at least 60 percent alcohol.
