Beware the flu!

[Sorcerer386]

Okay, I'm sure I'm not the only one in the world who rarely gets sick, and therefore feels immune to epidemic illnesses. So, I do have this advice to offer those types of people, BEWARE THIS FLU! I haven't had the flu in well over four years, but with it flying around and dealing with the public, I ended up catching it, and it is the worst flu I've ever had. I still doubt the effectiveness of getting a flu shot, but I do suggest getting as much Vitamin C as possible, washing hands regularly, etc. I'm one of those who believe that the more you try to avoid illness with healthiness, the more likely you'll get sick. But, I suggest to take any precautions to at least help dull the flu.

Like I said, it's not fun to get. The worst thing is the immense chills you get, plus the utter lack of any strength. Yesterday I tried pouring milk out of an almost full gallon into the cat's bowl and ended up just spilling it everywhere. It's not the vomiting type of flu...the only positive point. But after taking a class in science communication and realizing how untrusting the public can be about science (especially myself), I thought maybe I'd give you all fair warning...they're RIGHT this time!
