Is your office making you sick?

Where do you go when your office mates are sick, you hide out at your desk.  What most people do not know is that there desks are most likely crawling with germs.  A study by the University of AZ in 2002 found the typical workers desk has hundreds of times more bacteria per square in than an office toilet seat.  Disturbing, to say the least.  Most people I know drag themselves to work nose running, coughing, and sneezing all over the place.  The peak cold and flu months are December and January.  Unfortunately most people in December have used up all their sick time, so they go in, much to the dismay of everyone around them.  Plus, they are not helping in getting themselves better.  The best thing to do when you are feeling this way is stay home!  Even better, is preventative medicine, which acupuncture and Chinese herbs are excellent for.  If you do start feeling under the weather, please feel free to give me a call!
