Last Minute Shopping? Avoid Malls To Prevent Holiday Colds and Flu.
OK. If you’ve managed to stay healthy up until now, then do yourself a favor and avoid crowded malls for any of your last minute holiday shopping. Trust me. It may sound a little crazy, but it makes a lot of sense.
Your local mall is crawling with germs that are just waiting to turn your body into a petri dish.
For some reason, malls keep their temperatures very warm. And the warmth is a breading ground for germs. When you mix in hundreds of people who are walking through, touching the things you are touching, and coughing into the air you are breathing – Your local mall might as well be a viral minefield of toxic germs.
So, if you still have last minute shopping to do…Avoid colds and flu by avoiding the malls, and instead opt for smaller less crowded stores.
