Keep from getting the flu?

Question

My two older children, ages three and six, have the flu. What can I do to prevent myself and my four month old getting it?

Answer 1

1) Drink plenty of orange juice
2) Take a multivitamin
3) Wash your hands frequently
4) Spray Lysol in the air to kill germs
5) Wipe down your doorknobs & things the kids touch
6) Wear a dust mask over your nose & mouth

Answer 2

Get one of those face masks for yourself. The flu can be passed on through the air by sneezing.
Wash your hands frequently and have your kids wash their hands frequently.

It's too late to get a flu shot this year, but getting one each year will help.

Blat, that's not true. You can't get the flu from the shot. It's inactive. I have been getting it every year since 1996 and I have never gotten the flu from the shot.

Answer 3

Eat plenty of vitamin c--oranges, etc
eat chicken broth soups
Take vitamin C, zinc and elderberry

You can take echinaechia on an on/off basis for adults; but should not be given to kids. It also is most effective taken with the C and zinc

Don't get the flu shot. The last time I got the flu, was when I took the flu shot, which was over 10 years ago.
