ABOUT THE BOOK

In today's world, the amount of germs lurking in our shadows is astounding. It’s impossible to avoid germs altogether. However, staying away from germs is your best defense against getting sick. People who get sick frequently are more likely to die at a younger age from common illnesses than people who stay relatively healthy throughout their lifetime. Although contracting the common cold may seem like a minor inconvenience, it is important to your long-term well being to avoid germs at all costs.

For example, it is common knowledge that you should put toilet paper down on public toilet seats, and that it’s necessary to wash your hands after cooking raw meat.

In order to combat the rhinovirus germ at gyms, try to avoid touching your face after you change equipment at the gym.
