It seems since Thanksgiving one person or another in our house has been sick. Previous to that our daughter had Hand-foot-and-mouth disease which is no fun. My husband was going to try everything possible to stay healthy, short of dousing himself with Lysol, before the big Christmas season approached at his store with all the germs floating around. He works so much and it’s nearly impossible for him to take off even if he does get sick. I decided to let him try Halo which is an oral antiseptic spray that protects against airborne germs. I figured anything we could do to prevent daddy from getting sick couldn’t hurt!
We received the berry and citrus flavors to try and the kids received grape. My husband took the citrus with him everyday to use. He said the citrus tasted like citrus (eye roll) and seemed to think it worked pretty well since he didn’t come down with the flu like a few people at work. He still got sick but nothing detrimental. (Ok, nothing detrimental to a mom!) My kids liked the grape but they thought it tickled going down so my daughter wouldn’t let me spray it after the first time. My son likes taking medicine (weirdo) and of course asked for more.
Read below for interesting facts directly from Halo!
· 75% of daycares, 33% of medical offices and 67% of airplanes have enough airborne viruses to infect someone in one hour
· On an average day, you take about 17,280 breaths – this wouldn’t be an issue if we didn’t spend 90% of our time indoors (in other words, there are over 17,000 opportunities a day to breathe in other people’s airborne germs)
· University Hospitals Case Medical Center Department of Pathology (Cleveland, OH) tested Halo against 11 strains of Whooping Cough (Bordetella pertussis), and Halo completely killed all 11 strains
· Halo Oral Antiseptic Spray is portable and perfect for travel (1 fl. oz. size adheres to TSA regulations for carry-on luggage or purse)
· HaloTM Children’s (for children aged two and up) is available in a great tasting grape flavor
· Adults have the option of Halo in berry and citrus flavors
· Halo is alcohol, dye and sugar-free
You can find Halo at your local CVS, Target, Walmart, and other drug stores. Suggested retail price is $12.99.

I like either Rafflecopter or Giveaway Tools!!
It seems like I stay sick year round. I always wind up with whatever anyone else in the house catches!
sounds like a good product to have handy
i like giveaway tools
i never get sick luckily!
i’m good with rafflecopter or giveaway tools. punchtab is sometimes “glitchy” but super easy.
i work in a casino restaurant and seem to get everything that goes around. fortunately, my employer offers flu shots.
I like the Rafflecopter or Giveaway Tools. I get sick about 3 times a year.
I like rafflecopter
about 2 to 4 times ayear
Once every year or two.
we get sick once or twice a month during the winter
I like Rafflecopter, but any of the giveaway widgets are fine with me because I know that Rafflecopter goes wonky sometimes.
I usually get a cold about twice a year, once in the summer and once in the winter
I used to get sick all the time 4-5 times a year, but not since I’ve been pregnant and had the baby!
I get sick about once every winter. Blah!

atleast once a year sometimes like 10 times a year lol
well me i get sick all the time and am sick now and can not get the couch done and then i like to use it
Every time I come in contact with something I get sick. I have such a horrid immune system.
This product doest miracles!
Actually I have a cold right now, lol 🙂
I like Giveaway tools. Very easy and user friendly, but Rafflecopter is o.k. too
Unfortunately the kids bring things home from school and while I care for them when they are sick,I often end up getting much sicker than they were. I end up getting sick every 2 weeks it seems like. I wish my immune system would get stronger!!!
i like using the rafflecopter…..its really easy to use…..thanks for the giveaways
i usually get sick 2 or 3 times a year…this year ive been really lucky so far…..hope saying that dont jinx me and i get sick lol
I used to like rafflecopter, but now they seem to require detailed input of info and aren’t making it easier because we log in
as I noted earlier, my real preference is for single entry or very, very limited entry promotions.
I have allergies including tree, grass and weeds. The pollen count of the moment can wear me down and I can ‘catch’ what ever is being passed around. so between allergies and colds, I have issues probably 6 times a year.
I’m flexible and can enter via whatever platform works for you. My preference is informative reviews and single or extremely limited entry options.
i’ve had it with rafflecopter promotions with hundreds of entries. The worst is a promotion allowing 450 entries/person and then putting a time limit on entries so the software nags you that ‘entries are just too fast – slow down’, when the time limit is so large that you can handtype the info 3X. The time spent entering should not be ‘significant’
We seem to get sick every winter…the cold or something
I like rafflecopter forms for contest. It seems the easiest to do. thanks

I dont get sick too often. There are six of us in the house so we do have colds that do happen once in a while. thanks
carolwegs at gmail dot com
We usually all (four) get sick really bad twice during the winter with a few minor colds in between.
i like the rafflecopter form for entering giveaways
i don’t get sick very often other than suffering from migranes
I like the giveaway tools because it is easy to do.

Rafflecopter is my favorite!
I haven’t gotten sick too often since I stopped working in daycare–thank goodness! 🙂
My favorite platform to enter giveaways is Rafflecopter (or blog post entry like this).
( I don’t like the entry platform that rhymes with TG…refuse to sign into their apps and can’t get entries for facebook and twitter)
thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I don’t get sick very often but Hubby gets sick a couple times a year.
My favorite way to enter giveaways is rafflecopter!
I get sick a few times a year
I get that “once a year” cold and that’s pretty much it
I prefer Rafflecopter, but I like Giveaway Tools okay. I really dislike PunchTab and Promo Simple.
I get sick a few times a year, usually in the fall/winter!
I get sick about 2 times a year
My favorite way to enter contest is using the rafflecopter.

After reading this and being sick for 3 weeks I am definately going to buy this!
I like rafflecopter for entering giveaways. Thanks
I get sick usually once a year.
I don’t get sick often – maybe once per year.
I like Rafflecopter 🙂 it’s my favorite way to enter giveaways because I can do daily entries, such as tweets with one hand..since i have a baby boy at home, it makes it easier

I don’t get sick very often but I see that changing since I started working at a hospital and have a 4 month old baby boy 🙂
Thank you!
Liz Ticona recently posted..Binky Spritz Review and Giveaway
I get sick way to often, at least once a month if not more:(
I get sick all of the time! My husband is never sick!
With two kids, there is always some cold in this house. It’s especially concerning during flu season, when you’re pregnant (like me). Any relief for a sick child or adult is invaluable! Thanks for the chance!
I get sick 2-4 times per year
I don’t get sick often but my husband and my kid do!
It depends on how often my husband and son get sick! Their little sniffle can sometimes end up in a major cold for me.
Usually I only get sick once or twice a year, but this year has been a doozy! Within 6 weeks our household has battled a really bad cold, a lung infection requiring antibiotics, strep throat, *and* the flu.
I get sick once or twice a year but some years I don’t get sick.
