and I have interviews, work, tons of stuff to finish up for graduation, a pending trip to DC and lots of other stuff going on this week and I don't want to get sick......Anyone ever tried Airborne??? Does it work and how much is it?

I am taking Vit. C and trying to avoid close contact but I can't risk getting sick. Any tips would be helpful.

Washing your hands regularly and disinfecting all surfaces that are "common areas" helps.

Thanks. I have been trying to keep my hands out of my mouth---terrible habit. I've already been exposed so I'm crossing fingers at this point..

From what I've heard from friends airborne works but it isnt going to be 100% effective nothing is. You might as well try it, its not going to hurt you and its usually around $5 or $6.

maybe stay with a friend in the area for a few days depending on how important the work & interviews are.

4/25/2006 11:04:48 PM

I can't.........good idea though.

4/25/2006 11:07:14 PM

some doctor told me Vitamin C is a myth
the best preventitive is cleanliness

4/25/2006 11:14:09 PM

don't touch eyes and mouth with dirty hands.

germs will seek you out.

that is all.

You know the topic was correct, right?

"roommate's sick" = "roommate is sick"

whatever you do

whenever the urge

do not suck his dick

It would help if you told us what he has....well, if you know what it is.

Drink a gallon of water a day ... in addition to flushing our your system, you'll be in the bathroom a LOT of times and can wash your hands every time you are in there.

With me I've cleaned everything, carried antibacterial gel in my purse and had some sitting on the desk (of course this won't help if its a virus). Try to stay away as much as you can and wash your hands constantly (touch the microwave, door knob, phone, counter-wash em). study a lot in the library if possible and take your vitamins!

I don't get sick.

4/26/2006 12:02:47 AM

airborne works if you take it BEFORE you have any symptoms

so if youre already feeling kinda sick youre fucked, so don't even bother buying it

4/26/2006 12:02:52 AM

^I'm not feeling sick yet...just tired. And my roommate is a female and she THINKS she has strep. She is going to the health clinic tomorrow.

Thanks Michael. I wasn't going to address the lame attempt at correcting my "incorrect" use of 's so I'm glad you took care of that for me.

4/26/2006 12:48:21 AM

you're going to get fucked.

say hi to god for me.

4/26/2006 1:12:31 AM

good luck with everything

4/26/2006 1:15:38 AM

zinc vitamin supplement will help a lot too. Keeps the immune system "skrong"

4/26/2006 1:41:04 AM

^^

^^^Do you think God would say hi back?

no, god doesn't exist

Vitamin C is good only if you don't have enough in your system already. You'll know if you start pissing very strong smelling pee lol.

problem is you may have already contracted the sickness:

wash your hands a lot, open up the windows to prevent circulating the same disease ridden air, use lysol or airborne or whatever. spray the phone, doorknobs, counters, etc.
