What is the best technique, method for washing my hands to avoid getting the flu?
Cleaning your hands often will help protect you from germs. Clean hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. CDC recommends that when you wash your hands — with soap and warm water — that you wash for 15 to 20 seconds. If using hand sanitizer, rub your hands until the sanitizing gel is dry. The sanitizing gel doesn’t need water to work; the alcohol in it kills the germs on your hands.
