Misc stay safe, Flu out break getting worse (srs)

[tomse7en1]

CDC says flu this year is at epidemic level,,, stay safe misc. .... Also if you have things that work for you, to not get sick feel free to mention them


EDIT: (just trying to aware some)
-Watch for what happens after you recover from the flu. if you suddenly get a little sick again than go to the Doc asap. Texas teen died after he got better than starting getting sick again.

If you're sick, role call it:
-Your location
-How long


Flu symptoms include:

A 100F or higher fever or feeling feverish (not everyone with the flu has a fever)
A cough and/or sore throat
A runny or stuffy nose
Headaches and/or body aches
Chills
Fatigue
Nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea (most common in children)


Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of the following:

Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
Purple or blue discoloration of the lips
Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
Sudden dizziness
Confusion
Severe or persistent vomiting
Seizures
Flu-like symptoms that improve but then return with fever and worse cough

You can treat flu symptoms without medication by:

Getting plenty of rest
Drinking clear fluids like water, broth, sports drinks, or electrolyte beverages to prevent becoming dehydrated
Placing a cool, damp washcloth on your forehead, arms, and legs to reduce discomfort associated with a fever
Putting a humidifier in your room to make breathing easier
Gargling salt water (1:1 ratio warm water to salt) to soothe a sore throat
Covering up with a warm blanket to calm chills

I agree. I am a Scientist at two major hospitals in Los Angeles and the amount of folks coming in for flu has been quite scary. Try and get your flu shots in and if you aren't a believer in them please stay safe and keep your coworkers safe by staying at home for as long as you need to to feel batter.

Keep studying information funded by pharmaceutical companies in order to keep people sick. Good luck with you treating symptoms, not root causes goals of 2013.

[reyes12]

last time I had the flu as serious as in OP's post was in 1994.

I had every symptom except diarrhea. and my temps were 103-104. I had to go to the hospital cause I couldnt stop puking.


But I do not get sick anymore. The last kind of "sickness" I had recently was food poisoning cause of undercooked food, which I puked up and felt great the same day.


My Immune system is godlike, I will not get sick, I don't believe in getting the flu.

You should increase and balance all of your micronutrients. This cannot be done without supplementation regardless of what anyone tells you.

[Thunderkunt99]

Become OCD about washing hands.

Will cut your chances of getting flu down by a LOT.


and +1 on the vitamin C.
