Handling Money?

Flu season is upon us and, while you may be doing your best to keep germs away, you might be surprised what's putting you at risk of getting sick. If you’re one of many people who’s been dealing with a case of the flu lately, you may have to look no farther than your wallet or an automatic teller machine to place blame.

A cashier, is more likely to catch the flu than say one of her customers, according to a new study. The National Influenza Research Center found cashiers and others who work with large quantities of cash are more vulnerable to the virus.

"We know obviously when someone coughs and covers his mouth and then touches other things, the flu virus may be on for some period of time,” said Dr. Marc Tribble, an infectious disease specialist.

Until now, medical experts only thought the flu was transmitted through the air. Now there's proof the virus survives on paper.

"I thought it was interesting one of the varieties of flu lasted for three days on a dollar bill. That’s much longer than we would have expected,” said Tribble.

"Whether it’s pieces of paper or dollar bills at the bank, you got to be aware that sick people may be passing around the virus,” he said.

Money has germs. Start your day and during the course of a day,  just put some Derma Shield Plus on your hands.

Once applied Derma Shield Plus will stay on your skin for 4 to 5 hours despite repeated washing. You don’t have to worry about removing it, as it will come off as your skin naturally sheds.
