If you’re anything like me, you find December through March to be a disgusting time of the year.
Sure, the snow can be pretty and the festivities of the holidays surely help brighten the dark winter months, but these things don’t make up for the horrors that the winter months bring us.
These times are filled with coughs, sneezes, congestion, hoarse voices, and stuffy noses. Everywhere you go, there is someone hacking up a lung or sneezing without having the common courtesy to cover his nose.
Even worse, the assaulted of the sound of someone sucking up snot is a frequent occurrence. This sounds bizarre and disgusting, but that is the point: These months are repulsive, and you spend the entirety of them hoping you can make it through without catching one of the multitude of illnesses going around.
Dodging the annual plague of sickness may sound tough, but it isn’t impossible.
Wash your hands! This is the number rule of staying well.
Use hand sanitizer. Don’t touch your face. Avoid touching door knobs. Cough and sneeze into your elbow.
Stay well this cold and flu season.
