The stomach virus is spread through bacteria> You contract it by touching things that are contaminated with the virus. Then you touch your food, eyes, nose or mouth. The virus enters your body from there. Don't eat or drink after someone that is sick.

Answer 3

There is no way to completely guarantee that you won't get a virus, whether it's stomach or another type. But there are some precautions you can take to greatly reduce your risks. Also, what some think is a virus is sometimes a food borne illness due to improper cooking and/or handling of the food, as well as food that has gone bad.

Since the virus enters the body mainly through the nose, eyes and mouth, wash your hands frequently and keep them away from those areas. You should also disinfect doorknobs, light switches and faucet handles regularly since they are one of the most commonly used and touched surfaces in the home. Another source of contamination are the handles on shopping carts. Studies have shown they are covered with thousands of germs!

Use precautions in the kitchen such as sanitizing food preparation surfaces both before and after cooking. Make sure all fresh produce that is eaten raw (lettuce, tomatoes, etc.) are washed thoroughly. Rinsing alone is not enough to kill any germs on them. I actually wash mine with a mild dish detergent solution and then rinse very, very well. Even foods such a lemons, Oranges, etc. should be washed this way before using.

When handing raw meats, chicken and fish, it is vital to wash your hands and the prep surfaces afterwards, and don't re-use utensils or dishes that were used on them without first washing in hot, soapy water, then rinsing well.

Be sure to cook meats to the recommended temperatures to avoid salmonella, E.coli, etc. Never leave food at room temperature more than two hours after cooking. It should be refrigerated as soon as it has cooled to prevent bacteria from growing.

It is also important to do all you can to ensure your body's immune system is as strong as possible. You can do this by eating a healthy, well balanced diet, getting plenty of excercise and rest. Stress can weaken the body's immune system, so avoiding stress can help, too.

Also, by avoiding those you know are sick will help to minimize your risk of catching a virus or bacterial infection.
