We battle the bug all year round by eating a healthy diet of fresh fruit and vegetables, get plenty of sleep and wash our hands frequently.
With sickness going around lately, it is necessary to take all precautions available. Whether you’re a teacher, nurse, or a Busy Mom, you should be prepared. Kleenex has come out with a new product: Kleenext Anti-Virul tissues that actually kill viruses in the tissue, so you can fight the bug all year long. How does it work? There is a blue dotted, moisture activated layer between the plies. When the bug hits that, its over in 15 minutes.
Kleenex has listed useful information on their site on how to Battle the Bug along with interesting facts.
Did you know:
- It is estimated that there are more than 125 million workdays missed by parents who stay home with a sick child
- One sneeze can spray 100,000 infectious droplets into the air at more than 200 MPH
- Cold and flu viruses can live up to 24-hours on hard surfaces and up to 3 hours on your skin
- Rhinovirus is most active from late fall, spring and summer
- Up to 189 million school days are missed each year due to a cold
Other tips to battle the bug:
- Wash your hands before you eat, after you use the bathroom, after you play with a pet and when you come in from playing outdoors
- Get a good night’s sleep every night. Sleep can help strengthen the immune system
- Dispose of used tissues in the trash as soon as possible

We battle the bug by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, getting enough sleep and exercise and enjoying the sunshine.
I wash the counters with anitbacterial wipes frequently, and wash myn and my daughters hands several times a day.
By using Kleenex® Anti-Viral* Tissues, you now have the weapon to kill 99.9% of cold and flu viruses* in the tissue.
I “Battle the Bug” all year long by washing my hands frequently, trying to eat a more nutritious diet, supplement with vitamins and herbals, and I try to get more sleep. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
Thanks for the contest!
