Once one of my teachers in high school said that it was good for one to have a cold at least once a year. He also said that one should worry if you don't get colds.
Is that true? If it's true, why?

My son started with severe diaherra and vomiting with no fever on the 9th of Novemeber. I called the peditrician and they said it was probably viral so if he wasn't better by the following Monday to call back. Well his symptoms worsened over the weekend and we took him in on Monday to the peditrician. They did blood workup and stool samples from the diahrea and samples of the vomit. Well this persisted for another week and we called the doctor back and she sent us to the ER...only to find out he was severely dehydrated and also with his abdominal pain, they did a stomach X-ray and said everything was swollen and we needed to see a GI doctor...we found out that he had a small tear in his small intestine...cured by diet. Well, he just went back to school this past Wednesday and I got a call from the school nurse today...high fever of 102 and sore throat. took him to the doctor just now...no strep throat and the doctor said virus again! My son doesn't get sick...any suggestions ?

OK....so today I went to the doctor for a problem not related to being sick with any type of infection (common cold, flu). So, the nurse come sin, and he is sniffling and coughing a little bit. I know this sounds crazy, but do you think he was sick and can get me sick? I am going home for Winter Break from colege on Monday, and I am trying so hard not to get sick. I have been taking Airborne, and getting as much sleep as I possibly can, considering that it is exam week. He took my blood pressue (meaning he touched me) and was talking somewhat close to me as he was asking me questions. I know this sounds borderline paranoia, but I truly do not want to get sick. Do you think I am overreacting and am going to be fine? Please help...

I have an abdominal infection called Psudomonas, I have had 3 surguries to try and romve it, as well as alot of oral antibiotics, nothing has worked so far, I am also a diabetic, I am currently not on any of my medications, I have no insurance, and cant afford it, because I am raising two children.
I have to work long hours, with little or no time off, and I am in a stressfull job.
Ive tried getting state funding to help with medical care and have been turned down repeatedly.
How long can I keep going untill something really bad happens?
what are the consequences of leaving this untreated?
Is there any help out there for a working family man?
I do change the dressing at the wound location daily (I have to, the wound oozes a greenish puss)
I really need some help, I fear this will kill me if I cannot get it taken care of

Back in early fall we had the ecoli and spinach scare. Now Taco Bell, a weekly if not daily stop in a day of my college life these days, has had an ecoli outbreak with green onions--another veggie I just love.

1. Should I not buy green onions at the grocery?
2. What's going on that we've had 2 ecoli scares this year? It seems a little worrisome. What's causing this apparent increase in the ecoli bacteria? (If it's really an increase.)
3. What can we do? I don't like knowing my favorite veggies are potentially deadly.

So what's the deal with ecoli?
