Housecall for Health: Keeping Healthy After Sandy
While residents are trying to rebuild their homes and their lives in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, it’s important to remember to protect yourself during clean-up from a major disaster like this.
FOX’s Colleen Cappon has the key points in today’s “Housecall for Health”:
Hurricane Sandy continues to affect people on the East Coast, but a number of illnesses can be avoided. �Emergency room doctors at Downstate Hospital tell FOX News Health scrapes and cuts during clean-up require a tetanus shot, and you should wear boots and gloves to avoid touching harmful mold.
Risk for disease is heightened, so maintaining good hygiene is key. �Be careful about spoiled food, and check with local officials about drinking tap water.
