Plantsitter is a woman after my own heart. My man no longer gets man flu or coughs after I discovered a natural and very effective cough mixture. Chop one onion, sprinkle with brown sugar leave in fridge over night. Smells worse than it tastes, clears any cough. Its almost a miracle the speed my big brave man recovers when he sees me get the onions out of the cupboard!!!!

I'm definately with "Paperchase! as I like her style and I'm a caring nurse (laugh)

[mhmummy]

I vote for Zazen (tip 1) AKA Jack Bauer (and would add that anti-bacterial hand gel is also an essential item on the London Underground...)

I like the thumbwitch suggestion about keeping away from your GPs surgery. I work in one and get coughed and sneezed over every day !

Habbibu's tip about staying at home, if people did it, the germs wouldn't spread everywhere.
