A YEAR IN REVIEW: OUR MOST POPULAR POSTS FROM 2022
2022 was a better year than 2021. At least we were relatively free of lockdowns and although Covid is still with us, it seems to have faded into the background for most. Still, we’re ready to say goodbye to 2022 and hello to 2023 but before we do, we thought we would bring back some of our most-read posts from last year. Read through them one last time and then set your sights on the new year!
THE DIRTIEST THING IN YOUR DOCTOR’S OFFICE ISN’T WHAT YOU THINK
Trips to the doctor’s office are a part of life and generally, they are intended to keep us well and in good health. But is your doctor’s office really clean? Aside from all of the coughing and sneezing that goes on in the typical waiting room, there are germs lurking in places you might not have considered.

All it takes is one employee to show up to work sick and by lunchtime more than half of all commonly touched surfaces in your office will be infected.
