[quote:Anonymous Coward 24909641:MV8yMTA2NTk1XzM1NTA5NTA1X0E2RjI1RjAy] [quote:Anonymous Coward 801546:MV8yMTA2NTk1XzM1NTA5MzIwX0UwMjNCNUJE] Perhaps a thread should be made specifically taking a poll of who has had the flu this season, and where they live. I live near Atlanta, Georgia, and I, along with my 3 year old son, mother, grandmother, and father have all had flu this season so far. I haven't had flu in years before this, and this is the first time my son has had flu. It was pretty bad for all of us. Worse symptoms were respiratory and sinus. First noticed a scratch in my throat, that continually got worse throughout the day. This particular flu hit FAST and HARD. Within 12 hours, I went from feeling a MINOR scratch in my throat, to having to stay home, rest in bed, and feeling like complete horse shit. Within 24 hours, I had ALL full blown flu symptoms, and my head felt like a hot air balloon. I recovered faster than anyone in my family. I was also the ONLY person who took chopped up garlic cloves, in a spoon w/ olive oil. The trick is to chop the garlic cloves real fine, then smash them a bit with the spoon. The active alkaloids that fight the flu are released when the garlic is CRUSHED. To prevent burning your throat, you put the garlic cloves in a spoon w/ olive oil, just enough to coat the garlic. Good luck fellas. [/quote] So did you get the shot or not? [/quote]
