Currently I have been trying to get over a COLD-FLU as I speak. More like a COLD than the FLU.......although, yesterday I had a slight Fever and felt a bit Disoriented and extremely Tired.
But, COLDS can give you False FLU like simptoms to.
Had this for 3 days now. I'm feeling much better now.....despite this agonizing Stuffed-Up Nose COLD still.

My question is:

*Why is it when ever a person catches a bad COLD or a COLD-FLU, like me, I Lose almost all my Hunger Appetite??*

What are the 'Medically & Biologically' reasons why humans Lose their Appetites while being sick with a COLD or a COLD-FLU ??

I really hate it when I'm Sick and I'm Not Hungry. I'm already (to Skinny) as it is = )

For example......
One might say that the reason a person Loses his/hers Hunger Appetite is because the human body is trying so so hard to Fight this COLD, that the body Loses its power to tell the Mind that it really 'IS' Hungry.

So what's your own Answer ???

I was in a supermarket looking at a product on a wall, in the contacts section you know how they have the little boxes lines up on the shelves, and I bent down to pick something up from a lower shelf and my hair touched a box on the way down. I didn't think anything of it, but when I came back up, eye-level with me was a box that was covered in what appeared to be dried, or semi-dried blood. This was the box the front of my hair brushed up against and I freaked out. If that blood was HIV or Hep C infected, and let's assume it is for arguments sake, can I become infected through touching it with my hair? I am concered that my hair is now contaminated too. Will a simple shower in hot water with regualr shampoo clean it fully, or do I need need to use something more drastic> Should I cut off that part of my hair that touched the blood? Can the blood, once it becomes wet, re-animate anything in it? Can the blood and the virus soak into my hair? Please help I am freaking out.
Thanks

I just found out I have type 1 and 2 herpes. How do you get it and how long does it take to show up. I was with my bf for 2.5 years (broke up) and I slept with someone new in December 2006 (with condoms).........can it be either of them that gave it to me?

If you were in a city centre after vigorous raining (wet floor) and you had holes in your shoes and then rain water goes into your shoes, from the pavement, onto a cut in your foot, can you get hiv? Note that the floor were full of chewing gum that could be used by a hiv positive. Also liquid from a large surface area of pavement got into your cut inside your shoes. Anything could have happened to the pavement and hiv can survive long especially in winter temperatures.
