A Safer Way To Spring!
It’s spring, which means it’s time to start going out again and meeting friends and family, and doing more things outdoors and indoors. But with more contact with the outside world (which isn’t a bad thing!) come more germs, and the potential for more diseases and illnesses.
In fact, there are some common illnesses, such as the common cold, which are known to occur predominantly in the winter and spring, illnesses that are particularly dangerous during the current bridge between seasons, illnesses that cause kids to miss school and adults to miss work. (1)
But have no fear, because germs are spread, which means they can also be NOT SPREAD. And the best way to not spread germs is by CLEANING YOUR HANDS. And not only cleaning your hands, but cleaning them EFFECTIVELY and with the right ALL-NATURAL SOAP filled with the most effective ALL-NATURAL INGREDIENTS!
In this blog we talk about the danger of springtime germs and illnesses, and how to best PROTECT YOURSELF and STAY HEALTHY all spring long!

Though many people think winter is the season for germs, spring can be just as dangerous, or even more. This is because spring is not only cool enough to allow certain germs to duplicate, but the growth of allergies can also increase your susceptibility to getting sick.
The weaker immune system can then be attacked by germs that thrive in both spring and winter, affecting both adults and children alike. This risk is then compounded by the fact that kids are still in school, and can easily spread germs they may not be spreading during the long breaks of winter and summer. (2)
The spring season may also be too cold to fully enjoy the sun, which can affect your vitamin levels, specifically Vitamin D. A reduced amount of Vitamin D can lead to a weaker immune system, which can make you even more susceptible to illness. (3)
QUICK TIP: Everyday objects can transfer germs carrying viruses and bacteria in spring. Protect yourself and your family from these common spreaders by using GARNER’S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC HAND SOAP today! (4)
Another reason it’s important you clean your hands is because not cleaning them can lead to a series of diseases that can be hard to differentiate. For example, the flu, COVID-19, the common cold, and even allergies can sometimes have similar symptoms, which is dangerous because diseases may need to be remedied in different ways.
Be sure to clean your hands thoroughly this spring with soap that won't irritate your sensitive skin! Clean your hands the safer way with GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC HAND SOAP!
Some diseases, like the cold, for example, don’t even have a cure, so even though certain home remedies may help ease symptoms, trips to the doctor may actually lead you down unnecessary rabbit holes that could’ve been PREVENTED had you simply taken the EASY STEPS to STOP THE SPREAD and PROTECT YOURSELF. (5)
Another reason spring is so dangerous is because germs can be just about anywhere – on plants, food, animals, and even in the air. But germs are also on your body, and on objects you touch every day, after which you may touch your face. These germs are not friendly, and are consistently trying to break your body down and infect you. Your solution – GET THEM OFF OF YOU! (6)

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
Though it’s impossible to avoid germs, there are STEPS you can take to reduce the likelihood of getting sick this spring. And it all comes down to cleaning your hands. Cleaning your hands EFFECTIVELY will help STOP THE SPREAD of dangerous germs to your face – where you may be extra culpable to getting sick – as well as PREVENT communal drinks or food from infecting yourself or others.
To ensure you’re cleaning those pesky germs off efficiently, it’s really simple: just wet your hands, lather yourself with soap all over (including those hard-to-reach spots like under your nails and between your fingers), scrub for twenty seconds, rinse thoroughly, and then dry. (7)
Common objects can spread illnesses that can be particularly devastating to your health. Clean your hands after touching these common items by using GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC HAND SOAP today!
It’s also important you effectively clean your hands to protect the people around you this spring. After all, spring means more get-togethers, and many times these get-togethers are with people you haven’t seen in a while, like those in medical facilities or hospitals. Cleaning your hands helps protect these people by not allowing bacteria or viruses to affect these oftentimes vulnerable people. (8)
QUICK TIP: Simple objects like pens and doorknobs can carry dangerous germs, and can be transferred through indirect contact. Don’t touch your face, and be sure to clean your hands often with GARNER’S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC HAND SOAP! (9)
One important thing to remember about washing your hands is that healthy bodies also means healthy hands. What this means is that you need to be extra careful that your skin isn’t cracked or compromised, as dry skin in desperate need of MOISTURE can allow pathogens inside your body that can cause disease.
CONSTANT HYDRATION will help protect not only your hands, but also your immune system from having to fight as many pathogens, and can also replenish the oil you may have lost by cleaning your hands more. As an added benefit, it will also give your skin flexibility, which you’re going to want as you engage more outside in the warmer spring weather. (10)
As far as the activities to particularly look out for in the spring that can contribute to germ-spreading, watch out for walking your dog after quaint spring walks, touching gas handles during long road trips over spring break, and handling groceries or common items. Basically, just use common sense and CLEAN YOUR HANDS, and you’re one step closer to having a FUN and SAFE spring! (11)
Let's be honest. Sometimes soap isn't around! In these cases clean your hands effectively with Garner's Garden 100% All-Natural Hand Sanitizer, which kills bacteria, while also moisturizing your hands with essential oils like lemongrass, tea tree, and palmarosa!
