Every year, lives are lost because of the spread of infections in hospitals. Health care workers can take steps to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. These steps are part of infection control.
Proper hand washing is the most effective way to prevent the spread of infections in hospitals. If you are a patient, don't be afraid to remind friends, family and health care providers to wash their hands before getting close to you.
Other steps health care workers can take include:
Covering coughs and sneezes
Staying up to date with vaccinations
Using gloves, masks and protective clothing
Making tissues and hand cleaners available
Following hospital guidelines when dealing with blood or contaminated items

Home Remedies for Control
PREGNANCY [contraception] Emergency contraception is to only be used after unprotected sex, not for regular birth control. Emergency contraception that contains the same hormone used in many birth control pills - just at a higher dose. Helps prevent pregnancy. It should not be used as regular birth control because it's not as effective. Mechanism - hormoneShizs | July 15th, 2018
TOE NAIL FUNGUS [Onychomycosis] The only real "cure" is taking Lamisil (terbinafine hydrochloride) tablets prescribed by a doctor. The longer durations (at weaker doses) allow the nail to grow out. However, this medication can damage your liver. Once the initial infection is under control, brush Vicks Vaporub (or generic) under and around the nail with a toothbrush twice a day to reduce the chance of coming back.Sleslie | July 26th, 2021
