Hello. Thank you for writing.

One of the biggest dangers people with immune problems face is the risk of infection. Common sense can lower that risk:

-Wash your hands often and carry hand disinfectant.
-If someone wants to shake your hand, tell him or her you have a cold. You stay germ-free and they're not offended.
-Wear a surgical mask in crowded places, and avoid crowded places completely if there's a flu outbreak.
-Make sure your family members wash their hands, sneeze into their elbows, and take care of you by taking care of their hygiene.
-Stay away from people who are sick.
-Brush and floss your teeth regularly, and visit your dentist to stave off any infections caused by tooth decay.
