TikTok Paramedic Urges Three Simple Steps To Reduce January Flu Risk

A TikTok paramedic promotes simple home routines to cut flu exposure before January.

Overview

  • Ella, known as The Paramedic Mum, advises opening windows for five to ten minutes each morning to refresh indoor air and disperse lingering viruses.
  • She underscores regular handwashing as a straightforward way to limit contact-based spread.
  • Her third tip is to eat a balanced diet to support gut-linked immune defenses, with the caveat that food does not prevent flu.
  • Reports set the advice against a winter surge that led to many December hospitalisations, with current circulation described as medium and starting to decline.
  • The pieces echo NHS guidance that flu often improves without treatment but can be serious for some, and vaccination is recommended for those advised.
