So who contracted the Flu at the 1500?

[762minigun]

I keep seeing where people didn't go in fear of catching the flu. Who is now sick with the flu?

Not here.

 

[Newby]

Not me either!

 

[10Forward]

Went Friday....no flu here! But, I've had a flu shot, FWIW.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Probably still a bit too early to exhibit symptoms.

Getting quite close to that, though. Especially if you were there on Friday.

Flu shot, but I might have a slight cold. Also, waiting outside from 5:30 am to 8 am was a bit hard on the legs.

 

[bluegrassrules]

I am fine.

Went Saturday and felt like fried ******* last night but I don't think it was a full blown flu. Feeling run down today but made it into work ok. My son is sick tonight. Poor guy.

 

[SmileDocHill]

I was there Sat. and Sun. and I'm crazy sick.

 

[Waveraider]

Went all weekend and started getting a cold on Sunday. I'm going through a half box of Kleenex a day.

I was just getting over the flu last week and then worked all 3 days of the show. I sorta had a minor relapse so I'm loading up on Tylenol, vitamin c and cough syrup this week. Just feel tired and run down and can't seem to shake this stupid cough.

 

[Scutter01]

I recommend bringing some face masks to the next one.

I know at one point we were discussing passing out free INGO-branded deodorant at the booth, too.

It burns when I pee

 

[hacksawfg]

I'm wondering if the prices cured any cases of GBS.

It's not the flu, it's the T-Virus!

Colt, you use Vitamin C too? I always have good luck with it personally. Whenever I feel a sore-throat coming, or the sniffles, I take like 10 1000mg pills of vitamin-c. ( I usually take 1000mg a day ). Usually it works pretty well, I either don't get sick, or it's very mild. You can't overdose on vitamin-c because it is a water soluble vitamin, so there is nothing to lose. My chemistry teacher said it is a controversial topic, and no proof that vitamin C works, but you have nothing to lose, so don't pass up on it!

Something creepy about that statement from that avatar. Just sayin'.

If you have a sore throat, you're already sick and no amount of vitamin supplement is going to kill the bacteria or virus. The only thing you're going to do is create some very expensive urine.

I have a dilemma, I tried to rep you and can't but after that comment I'm NOT going to say "I tried to get you but apparently have to spread it around".

 

[92ThoStro]

You don't think it could boost your immune system to fight it off?

I'm not a doctor, so I don't know, but I have not seen or heard of any scientific evidence that it does. Many people swear by it, but anecdotal evidence is not evidence. I think you're better off eating healthy and taking care of yourself before you get sick to help prevent the infection in the first place.
