The H1N1 flu pandemic has everyone panicking about the spread of germs. And opportunistic entrepreneurs are cashing in on the action!

I, myself, am terrified of door handles in public restrooms—they're so unsanitary! Perhaps, that's why I think this new sanitary door handle is a great idea!

Of the adults and children who have been hospitalized for H1N1 ( the swine flu), nearly one-third have asthma. That might be scary news if you or your children have this chronic lung condition. But there's no reason to panic. Here's what you can do instead...

The flu worked its way through my house last week, so I spent a lot of time searching on CafeMom for ways to feel better—stat! Moms in the Green Organic Natural Simple Living group had some great suggestions for natural remedies to relieve cold and flu symptoms...

A healthy diet is an important part of protecting yourself during the cold and flu season (especially now with so much concern surrounding the H1N1 flu). Experts believe the following 10 foods (as part of a well-balanced diet) can help boost your immune system so it can fight off the cold and flu "bugs."

All this week we've been talking to CafeMoms about whether or not their family will receive the H1N1 vaccine to prevent the swine flu.

AmyTuteurMD, an obstetrician gynecologist and mom of four, disagreed with some of the information in our posts. She runs AskDr.Amy.com, Open Salon, and The Skeptical OB, writing primarily about childbirth, home birth, and alternative health. I asked her to share her thoughts with us.

I'm asking CafeMoms to talk about whether or not their family will receive the H1N1 vaccine to prevent the swine flu. Today, Science_Spot shares her opinion: Although she is pro-vaccine, she will not get the H1N1 vaccine. And, her reasons have nothing to do with its safety...

Which do you think is scarier: The number of swine flu deaths reported by the media? Or the fact that the H1N1 vaccine (first doses go out today), which the government is encouraging everyone to get, is so new?

There's so much information out there and so much panic that some moms are confused about how to make a good decision about whether to get the shot. I asked Neonds13, group owner of Educate Before You Vaccinate, to explain why she will not be getting the H1N1 vaccine.

The first doses of the H1N1 vaccine to protect against the swine flu will be available as early as Tuesday. However, not everyone will be able to get the vaccination immediately. So who is first in line?

Green tea is good for you -- this we know. It boosts endurance, helps you live longer, and can even be used as a skin toner.

But in times like now, where we're fearing the Swine Flu/H1N1 and with cold and flu season approaching, green tea really can come to the rescue. But it's not green tea alone.

Just read this article on NutritionData about a new study that suggests eating yogurt might work as prevention against flu.

Hmmm, I think with this possibly grueling flu season we're facing, we can use all the help we can get.
