Defeat the Flu

Wednesday, December 10, 2008 by Justin Randall

With the flu season upon us it is important to take the necessary steps to prevent being infected by the nasty virus.  Other then getting vaccinated there are bunch of other things you can do to protect yourself from the flu this year. 

I did a Google search for “Preventing the Flu” and it kicked back over 8,000,000 results, but one thing most of the “Preventing the Flu” to-do lists don’t reveal is how to manage the flu virus aerosols that are in the air.  Anytime someone coughs, sneezes or even speaks they can emit aerosols into the air that contain the flu virus.  Other than covering your mouth when you cough, sneeze and speak what can be done to control the airborne particles?

Aprilaire’s Model 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner which has been rated as the best whole home air cleaner three years running by an independent consumer goods company is a great solution.  The Model 5000 traps and KILLS up to 99.9% of harmful airborne particles. 

A normal 1” air filter will allow the tiny flu virus particles that are in the air to continually circulate through your home dramatically increasing the chances that someone will inhale them. 

The flu season historically starts in October and then continues to gain momentum until it peaks in mid-February.  There is no better time than now to invest in your family’s health and indoor air quality.  The Aprilaire Model 5000 has been tested and proven to be the best whole home air cleaner available, and it won’t only help with deterring the flu, but it will make your home a healthier place year round.
