Cold Water Works Just as Well

Are You Planning on Vaccinating Your Child For the Swine Flu?
Pumpkin carving, baseball playoffs and chilly weather are all signs of Fall fun and unfortunately, the dreaded flu season. After last year's breakout of the swine flu, also known as H1N1, parents are facing a whole new ballgame. When the virus first came to light, people were in defense mode as the only way to fight the disease was hand washing, arm coughing and other simple avoidance tactics.
How to Avoid Catching the Swine Flu
We're pretty familiar with how to prevent catching a regular cold or the flu, but the swine flu seems like a whole new ball of wax (or phlegm, in this case).
