Habits That Makes You Sick

Home is where we feel safe and secured but it is also where food-borne illnesses and 65% of colds are contracted. What we do around the house have a big impact on our health whether short-term or long-term.

Here are six common household activities that can make you sick.

1.    Using a Sponge

 The sponge can carry salmonella, E. coli and other bacteria. We use it to clean our countertops and table after a meal, but ironically, the more we clean our countertops with it, the more germs we are spreading around and it’s the same with using a dishrag.

 We deal with raw meat on our countertops and sink. Raw meat carries salmonella, E. coli and other bacteria. We clean our countertops after a meal with a sponge and leave it growing with millions of bacteria that can make us sick. Cross-contamination may occur if we use that sponge to clean refrigerator and other kitchen appliances.

 Solution: Dip the sponge into a solution of water and bleach before wiping down surfaces. After using it let it air-dry. Another way is to microwave it for 1-2 minutes each week. Put a little water in a dish and put the sponge in it.

2.    Vacuuming

Vacuum cleaners can pick up big pieces of dirt but not the tiny dust particles that pass right through the porous vacuum bags that go back up into the air. Hazardous materials like pesticides, lead, heavy metals and other chemicals, are found in high concentrations and in the smallest particles of dust. Conventional vacuums cannot retain them.

Solution: Use a vacuum cleaner with a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. HEPA filters are able to retain the small particles that conventional vacuums cannot, and prevent them from passing through and contaminating the air you breathe... Read more from: Habits That Makes You Sick

What Your Allergy Relief Kit Should Include

An allergy is a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system. It occurs when the body’s immune system overreacts to normally harmless substances. It aggravates the sense of smell, sight, tastes and touch causing irritation, extreme disability and sometimes fatality.


Our body’s immune system is a collection of cells and organs that work individually and collectively to protect your body from outside invaders. Allergic reactions are caused by both an outside invader and the body making a mistake. When a generally harmless substance such as pollen enters your body, your immune system may mistakenly treat it like a harmful invader. How your body reacts next determines the symptoms you feel.
