What can cancer patients do to protect themselves from infections?
Cancer patients can take several proactive steps to reduce their risk of infection:
- Hand Hygiene: Regular hand washing, especially before eating and after using the restroom. - Avoiding Crowds and Sick Individuals: Limiting exposure to crowded places and avoiding contact with people who are sick. - Safe Food Practices: Eating well-cooked food and avoiding raw or undercooked meats, eggs, and unpasteurized dairy products. - Proper Wound Care: Keeping any wounds clean and covered to prevent infection.
