Re: Never, ever do I..
It's a shame that many companies, particularly office based ones, tend to penalise people who go off sick,. IT's so counter productive. When people "troop on" with colds and ILIs at work they simply spread it to everyone else resulting in lost of lost work hours for the company. If they just recommended that people stay home and rest for a couple of days then they would recover much quicker and not spread the bugs around so much.Blitzing a complete lemon with a chunk of fresh ginger and some hot water (and a little honey) is my go to power house natural remedy for killing these bugs. That plus incorporating a lot of garlic and maybe some fresh chillis into my meals.

Whatever works for you Realist. I wish I could use the ginger remedy but it irritates my oesophagus. The other one that's supposed to be really good is crushed garlic and honey (6 cloves of garlic). I cannot manage that one though, it's like eating paint stripper. The Italian granny cough syrup works best for me. Olive oil is a natural antiviral & healing compound.

Re: Never, ever do I..
I think its a shame you feel that you need to spread the germs around by continuing to go into work Rhian
There are people out there who cant afford to catch such germs who still have to venture out too.
I wouldve taken a couple days off with honey and lemon and maybe some whiskey too,then see how you feel after that,if no better then stay home another day ...
