Prevention Pointers
 
1. Wash Your Hands
It's the single most effective way to keep from catching a cold or spreading one to someone else. Don’t have access to soap and water? Use Vicks Early Defense Foaming Hand Sanitizer to kill 99.9% of germs. Vicks Early Defense Foaming Hand Sanitizer helps fight germs for up to three hours*, unlike alcohol-based hand sanitizers, which do not have residual activity for killing germs.

* Under laboratory conditions
 
2. Practice Healthy Habits
Eat right, sleep tight, and exercise often to keep your immune system strong—and illness at bay.
 
3. Catch Some Zs
Lack of sleep can reduce immune functioning, making you susceptible to sickness. So make sure you get plenty of
shut-eye.
 
4. Soften Your Blows
Blow your nose gently—both nostrils—to avoid hurting your ears. And try one of our Puffs products to help soothe sore noses.
