What can you do to help prevent getting a bacteria infection?

Answer 1

Some ways to keep bacteria away is by washing your hands frequently, as in after going to the bathroom, after being in public places (e.g. Malls, movies, school, etc.), before and after handling an animal, and before and after eating. Another good thing to do is try not to touch your face and especially not the openings (mouth, nose, eyes, and ears) because that is one of the only ways for bacteria to get in your body. If you have to sneeze or cough, don't do it on your hand, because then you could shake hands with someone else and spread the bacteria. So instead of sneezing or coughing in your hand, instead do it in your elbow. That way you won't spread the germs and won't get the germs on your face.

Answer 2

There are two key ways to prevent bacterial infections. The first is sanitation and hygiene, which are daily, front-line defenses in minimizing your exposure to disease-causing organisms. The second is immunization, which fortifies your immune system for years against specific infections.

Answer 3

Avoid overuse of antibiotics and antibacterial cleaning agents, they cause the evolution of antibiotic resistance.

Use disinfectants when possible for cleaning to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Answer 4

Changes in lifestyle can be helpful in reducing the risk of recurrence. These include avoiding perfumed vaginal products, using mild soap (not deodorant or antibacterial) in the vaginal area, avoiding douching, using condoms, wearing thong underwear only occasionally rather than daily, and making sure that if you have any anal sex play, you wash the finger, sex toy, or penis before it goes into your vagina.
