THREE PATHS TO PREVENTION
Germs travel on hands to eyes, mouths and noses. Wash your hands! Use soap for 30 seconds, sing Happy Birthday, rinse well, dry, turn off faucet with towel. Cover your cough! Cough or sneeze into you sleeves and then wash your hands pronto! Sex Matters …. You may have received or could be spreading a sexually transmitted disease through oral, vaginal or anal contact. Stop the cycle. Get tested! Treat yourself and any partners you have had in the last two months.

Sandi Paciotti,
Communicable Disease Supervisor

"Communicable disease is spread easily through air, water, food, blood and sex. Our role is to do surveillance for the 65 reportable diseases, trace the source, conduct disease investigation, and identify, educate, and promptly treat individuals affected to keep our public well. Hand-washing is #1 and very critical to preventing disease spread. Receiving and updating immunizations is #2.
