family members;
-- practice good health habits, including eating a balanced diet,
exercising daily, and getting sufficient rest and take common-sense
steps to stop the spread of germs -- wash hands frequently with soap
and hot water; wash hands before eating, drinking and before applying
cosmetics and lip balm to prevent accidental ingestion of pathogens,
eat only cooked meats and poultry , and, cover coughs and sneezes with
