I try not to breathe too deeply as I am packed like a sardine in our public transit system twice a day. If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger, right?

For GI bugs, the top three important things to do in public venues (where you can't clean surfaces etc.) are:

1. Wash your hands.
2. Wash your hands.
3. Wash your hands.

Oh yes, and don't touch your face. Ever.

If it's airborne, you're done.

And that's infectious disease prevention 101.
