A great place to start when looking for ways to prevent sickness in the home is to go over the top 10 places that harbor cold and flu viruses in your home and clean them thoroughly.

This can mean a world of misery for families, so start today to keep those places sanitized.

8. Head Lice (Leave Mommy alone, She’s Shaking in the Corner) – “I was a green mom until the lice came. When I saw the first louse I thought, “My goodness, get me some chemicals.” There were parasitic beings suckling on my child’s scalp.

9. Herbal Remedies: Natural Pregnancy Tea Recipe – “Here is my recipe for pregnancy tea. My midwives always advised I drink a quart a day of this special blend instead of taking prenatal vitamins, as our bodies absorb the nutrients from herbal teas more readily than from vitamins.”
