Since it’s that lovely time of the year... where germs are passed like crazy... I figured I would ask y’all how you managed this season!!! We use essential oils, colloidal silver drops, the classic old red hot water bottle or heated dry rice in a sock for ear aches. Vitamins. Home made bone broth or Chicken soup. Rest. Liquids. Homeopathics. Detox baths. Herbal supplements. Lots of hand washing. I smudge the House with local sage often. Avoid crowded places when possible, shop during the weekdays when most people are working. We go to outdoor playgrounds only. 

I delivered mail in Florida for 25 years, one thing we noticed when the snowbirds arrive Nov-Dec the germs follow them. I havent been sick cold or flu for 10 years, I do get a flu shot ever year, especially since Im older last year got pneumonia shot. Knock on wood lol 

@8patty that’s awesome. I have always gotten sick and often. We haven’t been sick since February, which was a huge deal for us... but I went to the zoos, kid museums, parks, to holiday dinners, birthday parties and holiday shopping in the last two weeks (during California’s fall break) soooo we picked up germs somewhere along the ride... it’s not as bad as it has been, last year we were sick for months, kept passing things along one by one, sickness after sickness. 😫 luckily it was nothing major. But a few years ago my daughter got pneumonia with no symptoms... so I get paranoid about chest colds!!!
