Have that co-worker that should probably go home but continues to sneeze and cough throughout the day? We’ve all been in this situation, and we put up all our defenses to repel germs. 70% of employees admit to coming to work sick.

Besides keeping a distance from people, that are sick, here are 10 products to help you survive this cold and flu season at the office.
