Wait it doesn't get any better. Day Care , Kindergarden. They are breeding grounds for all the nice germs. I am a Mr. Mom with a 5 year old and have been so sick the last 3 winters. I am getting ready it should be any day now. The wife got it from my daughter and I am next. I am always last. I get no sympathy because they are sick of being sick and don't want to hear it. My grandmother from Nova Scotia always said big tablespoons of Cod Liver Oil. Disgusting.. . P.

I have a new name for our daycare place... " The Incubator"

still sick- i can barely swallow. no more fever, but have the sore throat from hell.

unfortunately exposure to germs is the only way the human body is able to build up an imunity to them.....and a study done on parents who isolated their kids from being exposed to the general public....found that their kids later on in life were much more unhealthy than the kids that were exposed to them in the "incubators" .. well said nebe...
the downside is that the parents contract the same germs when exposed to them by their own children.

i once worked with this new younger guy on a job...who said he needed to go home and was very ill with some sorta flu... thinking i was imune (from having had the flu many times) i didnt give it much thought...

later that evening i got hit really hard with the "new" bug... and got the chills so bad that i dragged myself to the shower to get my core temperature back up.
within 10 minutes i was shaking so bad i was shaking the whole house and felt like a can of paint in a paint shaker at home depot...thought i was gonna die..............
right there in the shower, it was so intense. I never saw that guy again.

the threat of a new flu panademic is quite real...and don't let the distance of it being across the ocean in indonesia or china give you a false sense of security....because once the native bird populations get it from the domestic birds...it'll only be a matter of time before it arrives.

you as a parent may not survive but the "incubator" (as you put it) may be what's responsible
for saving the life of your own child if and when it hits the good ole USA.
below is the bird migration map....a scary but real prospect.

Wow.It seems the flu type bugs are getting stronger an stronger.used to be feelin like crap with some fever.now its incoherent behavior with high fever an more full blown sickness.Hope u feel better.perhaps ur illness spawned from my phone call Thursday.

[Raven]

its a complicated subject to say the least....

and it quickly becomes obscure with all the
scientific mumbo jumbo...used sometimes....

i read constantly about it and found the
language (analogies) used in this article to be
much easier to understand the basics.

i'm not endorsing the product line but
thought it was useful enough to share
especially on the echinacea herb....
