With Tips From Brady Industries
Brady Industries, the premier cleaning solutions provider throughout the Western United States, offers flu prevention recommendations from their Corporate Healthcare Specialist, Mitch Rosenfield as the flu season approaches.
Influenza, commonly shortened to “flu,” is an extremely contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza A or B viruses. Flu appears most frequently in winter and early spring. The flu virus attacks the body by spreading through the upper and/or lower respiratory tract.
“Knowledge is power when it comes to preventing the flu and we want to take the time to educate our clients as well as the residents of Las Vegas with simple tips to stay healthy,” remarked Travis Brady, CEO of Brady Industries.
Below are five tips for individuals to avoid the flu:
