KCC Nurse Update: Flu Information
Flu typically affects 20 to 50 percent of the U.S. population each winter and continues through at least May. It's a highly contagious disease, spreading mostly by direct person-to-person contact. Coughing is the most common way of spread. The flu virus can linger in the air for as long as three hours. In close quarters, conditions are ripe for the spread of the virus. That explains why the highest incidence of the flu is in 5 to 14-year-olds, who spend much of their time in school, in close contact with their classmates. The most serious complications occur in older adults, however. Flu is like the cold in many ways--most basically, they're both respiratory infections caused by viruses. If a cold is misdiagnosed as flu, there's no problem. At worst, a cold can occasionally lead to secondary bacterial infections of the middle ear or sinuses, which can be treated with antibiotics. But if the flu is misdiagnosed as a bad cold, potentially life-threatening flu complications like pneumonia may be overlooked.
Flu Prevention Strategies: Here are several tips to prevent the flu from occurring:
• Avoid contact with people who are ill. If you are ill, stay home. Confine yourself to your bedroom to protect your loved ones. If your loved ones are ill, do your best to avoid contact.
• Cover your mouth and nose. The flu is spread by coughing, sneezing, and unclean hands. Masking when symptomatic also helps slow spread.
• Wash your hands. Use soap and water to keep hands clean, especially after coughing and sneezing. When soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer.
• Abstain from touching your nose and eyes. Germs can be spread from these orifices.
• Keep your home and work areas clean. Disinfect surfaces often.
• Prevent illness by getting rest, staying active, eating well, and staying hydrated.
• Talk to your health care provider about getting a flu shot. It is not too late.
