The Snuffle of Winter

[plumtreeblossom]

I'm still so congested, and coughing like a beggar with the consumption. I feel sorry for whoever has to sit next to me on the plane tomorrow. I hope at least it's someone mean and awful, who deserves the punishment of proximity to me for seven tormented transatlantic hours. Someone just plain rotten who has a black mark beside their name in the Big Book, so that I can be used as an instrument of Karmic Justice upon them.

Go out NOW and buy a bottle of nettle capsules (freeze-dried is best though any variety would work) at the local pharmacy or health food store. It will work wonders.

Would GNC have them? (I'm downtown at work, and it's the only store I can think of?)

Yup.

Try astragalus or echinacea for immune boosting, too. The GNC dude will know which is best for you.

Also, if you are unsure what foods you will eat and want to ensure your bowels are not haywire, pick up a bottle of acidophilus capsules.

I'm prolly sticking to ovo-lacto-vegetarian, like I usually do when traveling (foreign meat and me usually don't mix!).

Right but acidophilus will help even if you drink some non-bottled water or eat an under-ripe piece of tomato, upsetting your tummy.

Better get some for the scotch I'm going to sample!
