Ha. It is true that our exposure over recent years has been less than normal - not working and having limited exposure to stuff. We are doing catch up now. There is so much illness around us - I really just think it is a bad year in our area.Retired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-71854205587359149182019-02-10T10:32:59.428-05:002019-02-10T10:32:59.428-05:00That's a lot of colds, have you had blood work...That's a lot of colds, have you had blood work done lately? I'm wondering if your immune system is compromised? Sounds like you have no resistance, and maybe there's a reason for it? I too got the flu shot, got the shingle shot last year; but now it's different.Sandyhttps://4ccccs.blogspot.com/2019/02/chocolate-latte-and-assisted-living.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-10342634835208542062019-02-09T09:55:34.541-05:002019-02-09T09:55:34.541-05:00Marie - yes, the grand daughter gave me ALL my col...Marie - yes, the grand daughter gave me ALL my colds this year - except the one I have now. My husband calls Esk, our lovely little petre dish child. When she is due to come my husband usually says - I wonder what virus she is growing today!! Ha. But does that stop us! Not one minute. I can't wait to see her again no matter what little bug she has (that she gets from day care.)<br /><br />Karen - I can't help wondering if your hand washing method would work if you have a small child in your life. I hear from day-care staff that the first year they worked there they were always sick - and they keep a very clean establishment and lots of hand washing between handling the children. They even do the hand washing of the babies - so cute to watch. By the time a year has passed, their immune systems are a lot tougher - and I understand that the kids' immune systems are pretty resilient when they reach grade school. Hoping for some of that to come my way after this year.<br /><br />Lynn - a cure for the common cold??? The drug companies would NEVER allow that!!
