Other than washing the hands frequently(this is a must in any case) you can take also other protective measures: open the windows at work or at school, because even if there is a person having flu and you can't avoid it, fresh air that will enter in the room will help to the diluition of the pathogen.\nIt will be helpful also to take orange juice, that contains vit. C and if you can't there are food supplements containing vit. C + Zn in the pharmacies.So, ask your pharmacist about their action.\nHoney, is also a natural antibiotic of our body.\n\nKaterina

nothing over the counter or home remedies will work to get rid of the flu. The flu is a virus (bug) that you have to suffer misearably for up to 2weeks. You can however, comfort yourself by drinking lots of fluids so you dont get dehyrated and healthy foods to build up your imune system. Try getting as much sleep as possible. The flu is horribleeeeeeeeee...

That is a really funny question.  I guess I never associated the words good and sick together before.  Just do the opposite of what your momma told you when you were little to prevent catching a cold. You know, don't wear a coat, go out with a wet head, don't wear a hat, wear shoes with no socks, don't eat right and get plenty of sleep, and of course do go out and stand in the rain and get soaked.

not unless you want to get sick

In America you could sue, but it would very likely be kicked out of the courts as a frivolous lawsuit.  One major stumbling block would be proving that a specific individual got you sick since germs exist everywhere.  That, and proving that they acted irresponsibly or negligently (it would have to stand up to how the average man would behave in a given situation).\n\nI don't think you would get anywhere with it and your time would probably be better spent keeping happy and healthy.\n\nGood luck with the cold/flu season :-)

If all the above fails, Try not eating full stop. Oh but watch out for drinking as water may be contaminated!

most health care people receive the flu shot, just warn them in advance, and wash your hands a lot, use hand sanitizer before you touch public things if you are coughing a lot

Well, if you can't get him drunk enough to pass out, I suggest making sure all his shells are blanks.\nIf all else fails just try to stay behind him...or at least behind the SS guys. \nAlso, sounds like a good time to catch the flu, stay home....

Currently to catch bird flu you need to inhale or ingest some bird poo. A microscopic particle of poo containing the virus is all it needs. The reason for the massive cull is to try and prevent more birds from becoming infected, becasue the more birds it is in, the greater the chance of a mammal such as ourselves or pigs of being infected. To mutate into a deadly pandemic, an H5N1 virus has to infect a cell at the same time as a mammalian flu virus has infected the cell. \n\nSo by destroying the birds in massive culling programs, governments are limiting the possibility of this happening.\n\nIt is safe to eat infected meat as long as it is cooked properly (over 70 degrees for 20min)

When anyone gets a really serious flu (in my life),.. there is one thing that seems to help pull you out of it.\n\nChicken + Bayleaf(ves) + White Rice\n\nI think that's it.\n\nI think the boneless Chicken is boiled and then added to the White and Bayleaf,.. sorry for being vauge.\n\nIt gets better the older it gets.  So when you start off you eat the rice, then try a little meat the next day then your hogging down Rice and Meat like a Maniac the next.

Rest and plenty of fluids.  There is no cure for the common cold, yet, despite the many claims...\n\nChicken soup not so hot?\nIf people believed all the old wives' tales about catching and preventing colds and flu, they would stock their cupboards with chicken soup all winter and never step out into the cold. But the myths often have no place in scientific reality, so if you wonder whether you should starve a cold and feed a fever (or if you've got it the wrong way around), try this quiz (originally written by the American Lung Association).\n\nMyth: Spending time outside in cold weather can cause a cold or flu.\n\nFact: Exposure to cold weather does not bring on a cold or flu. It can, however, cause pneumonia, which can come about when someone already has the flu. This is the most serious complication of the flu and is more likely to occur in the elderly and people whose immune systems have been weakened by other medical conditions.\n\nMyth: It is possible to catch the flu from a flu shot.\n\nFact: The flu vaccine is made from an inactive virus, so it is impossible to get the flu from it. Some people may be sore where the vaccine is injected and may feel unwell for a couple of days with fever and muscle aches. Anyone who is acutely ill with fever or is allergic to egg or another component of the vaccine should not get the flu shot.\n\nMyth: An upset stomach is a symptom of the flu.\n\nFact: Stomach distress is rarely a symptom of the flu. Other viruses, bacteria and food poisoning are more common causes of nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.\n\nMyth: Large doses of vitamin C can prevent colds and cure them quickly.\n\nFact: This is not proven, although consuming the daily requirement of vitamin C is good for overall health.\n\nMyth: Herbal treatments such as echinacea and zinc will cure a cold quickly.\n\nFact: To date, there is no conclusive scientific evidence that either can cure or prevent a cold. The best way to avoid a cold is to avoid close contact with others who have it, wash hands frequently and avoid eye and nose rubbing.\n\nMyth: A bowl of chicken soup and hot toddies can help cure a cold.\n\nFact: Chicken soup has no power to cure a cold. However, hot liquids can soothe a scratchy throat or a cough. Hot toddies should also be avoided during a cold. Alcoholic beverages can increase the body's chance of dehydration, and therefore make symptoms worse.\n\nMyth: It is best to starve a cold and feed a fever.\n\nFact: Neither of these is a good remedy. When fighting a cold or fever, the body needs
