Flu bug going around

[jordy]

Who believes in and takes the flu shot?
I never had one and am pretty damn healthy ...as I knock on wood....lol

I got a flu shot one time about 18 years ago and I've never been so sick in my life, aside from the MRSA bout. Did it once, never again. It's a crap shoot to begin with.

As far as the hand sanitizer, that goes hand in hand with the over-prescription of antibiotics. Your body needs to be exposed to the germs to know how to fight them. They like to get crazy handing out z-packs for the common cold, which doesn't do anything against a virus.

Yah, I think my immune system is pretty strong from the time I am at the gym...There are so many germs going around there, I had to have built up a tolerance...lol
From what I hear, as long as you do not touch your eyes or mouth, mucus membranes, you are pretty safe from not catching the bug from someone but who the hell actually knows.
