Swine Flu Prevention - Items You Will Need

By Theo Steward

At the first signs of swine flu symptoms, go see your doctor and follow treatment recommendation. That is always rule number 1. Alternatively, if you want to prepare yourself in case a pandemic breaks out, chances are that authorities will ask people to stay at home as much as possible. This is a sensible precaution and the only one that works if you want to avoid getting infected.

So how do you prepare for such an event?

Go to your local grocery store, drug store, or big box store and buy the following items if you do not already have them in your home:

1. Hand sanitizer containing alcohol - Get 3 bottles at least, one for home, one for your car, and one for your workplace.

2. Several packages of sanitizing wipes containing alcohol.

3. Several bottles of cheap hand soap - it does not matter if it is anti-bacterial or not-just buy whatever is on sale.

4. Several boxes of disposable latex gloves.

5. A couple of packages of surgical masks for every family member.

6. A couple of bottles of hydrogen peroxide.

7. A couple of bottles of rubbing alcohol.

8. A bottle of iodine.

9. Enough bottled water to last your family two weeks.

10. Enough non-perishable food to last your family two weeks-canned food items are best.

11. A bag of fresh onions, a bag of fresh garlic, a bag of fresh ginseng, fresh broccoli, dandelion greens, and any other items you want that would make a nice stir-fry with these ingredients (beef, chicken, or fish).

Whatever You Do, Do Not Take Any Medicine Without Being Sick, Always Consult A Doctor Before Starting Any Treatment.
