Wash or sanitize your hands.

Clean hands save lives…including LGBT lives! In fact, there is a whole day (October 15, Global Hand Washing Day) dedicated to raising awareness about the health benefits of hand washing. LGBT or not, washing or sanitizing your hands is one of the most important preventive measures you can take to support your immune system, and protect yourself from getting sick and/or spreading illness to others.

Visit the CDC website, it provides some more useful information and helpful tips regarding hand washing.
