Paralysis recommends these simple precautions: Keep children with
their own friends and away from people they have not been with
right along. Don’t become exhausted through work or hard play.
Don’t stay too long in cold water or sit around in wet clothes. And
always wash hands before eating. Watch for feverishness, sore throat
headache, upset stomach or sore muscles. They may—or may not—
mean polio. Call your doctor and then, if help is needed contact
