OFFICIAL START OF FLU SEASON.....
« on: October 03, 2007, 09:43:12 AM »
hey fellow chrome domers...... october 1st was the official 1st day of flu season at my local hospital in florida.  2 limit your chances of getting sick this season practice good handwashing & carry your anti-bacterial hand lotions.  other than the obvious handwashing the anti-bacterial hand lotions  r  very effective.  I.E.....if  u   r  waiting 2 pump gas & that person in front of sneezes & wipes his/hers hands with it & touches the pump :Xo! :Xo! :Xo!....well there  ya go u  have the hand sanitizer 2 avoid getting the "germs" from that person in front of u.  i know i know that we still might get sick but ..... atleast u can limit/decrease the # of times u get sick.  oh..... if u can get a flu shot...get it.  i believe the local drug stores here r charging $30 per shot.  anyways....hope this helps limit your time being sick this flu season.
OH....and watch 4 that guy/gal that sneezes at the gas pumps. :Xo! :Xo! :Xo!

Great advice WH.  Thanks for the info.    I also subscribe to the theory that drinking plenty of fluids helps... `Dr!n# especially if they contain alcohol to kill germs >:D

I've been a big fan of AIRBORNE for the last couple of years. It's supposed to be vitamins and minerals. It's like a huge alka-seltzer tablet that I drop in a bottle of water, close the bottle, and shake up.

At the very least, it gets me drinking more water. :-D

I rarely get the flu.  The only two times I've gotten the flu really bad was the two years that I got the Flu shot.  Not saying you shouldn't, it's just me.

Warhawk, I wear latex rubber gloves whenever I am in the public enviornment. I have a big fear of germs, specifically Meningiccoccal, which is spread by saliva.

I always carry a bottle of hand sanitiser and wear a surgical mask when I am at work.

I got my flu shot this morning and I'm already starting to feel a little weird. Also, my shoulder is starting to hurt.  I hate getting this shot, but I had to do it for the new princess in the house.

Got my flu shot a week ago last saturday and started taking some airborne last night when I felt just a tinge of tingle in my throat.  I usually get it good 1 time each season.  I'm more prone to sinus infections that flu, though.
