Hand washing: Hand washing is key in prevention of infection. Also, a strong immune system built over time from exposure, proper diet and exercise. The last thing we would want to do is harm - by spreading something. Thank you for your concern :).

Hand washing: Good hand washing is the best way to prevent transmission of illness. Also making sure they have adequate Vit D-is crucial. Also eating a healthy diet with plenty of healthy fat, healthy protein and lots of green leafy vegetables is also super important
