Step 1
The first and most important thing you could do is make sure you are washing your hands constantly. There are so many germs and bacteria on everything you touch. Think of how many things you touch during the day and then think about where you hands have been. If you touch a doorknob and then you eat a sandwich for lunch without washing your hands just imagine how many germs you just put into your mouth.

Step 2
second, is to wear a mask. Not everyone wants to walk around with a mask and that is fine but if you are seriously afraid of catching the swine flu a mask will definitely help.

Step 3
Third, make sure that you wash all raw foods. Any vegetables you eat need to be cleaned thoroughly. Also make sure that food is completely cooked before eating it. If you go to a restaurant then order food well done.

Step 4
If you come in contact with someone that is sick immediately walk away. Do not linger. Avoid areas with large crowds. If someone in your family is sick then you need to make sure they are away from everyone else and if you suspect its the swine flu immediately take them to the doctor. You will need to wear a mask and disinfect everything around that person.

Step 5
Disinfect your house. Don't just disinfect places such as bathrooms and kitchens. Although those are important places to disinfect don't ignore the rest of the house. Germs are everywhere. Bleach is a great way to disinfect your house and is really cheap.
