Je suis malade.

I am sick. (That is what the title says)

I do not have much to say. I can only make some suggestions on how not to get sick,or how to deal with being sick since just about everyone is coming down with something.

1. Dress Appropriately for the weather. Be Reminded that your head, hands and feet lose most of your body heat. Your head alone loses 22% of your entire body heat.

2. Sugar kills your immune system when you are trying to get better.

3. Chicken soup is good for you.

4. Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze and cough.

5. Wash your hands regularly both when you are healthy and sick.

6. Try to let your body battle some of your symptoms if you can. By always using medicine you make the germs in your body more resilient to the antibodies.

7. If your nose is stuffed up or your ears are clogged up, try taking a wash cloth and making it damp with hot water from the sink. (Take caution in not burning your hands. Lay the hot washcloth on the afflicted area to make some of it clear up. (The warmth of cloth will melt the mucus in the nose or the built up wax in the ear.) (You may have to repeat in warming up the cloth.)


That all I got. I hope everyone stays safe,well and healthy.
