you can get it at GNC

it isn't foolproof but might help

wear a hat outside

wash your hands after touching someone elses
hands or using their phone

drink OJ or take vitamin C

don't go out with damp hair

(don't I sound like your mom???? )

the hat and hair thing - they will lower your resistance and make getting a cold easier.

I hope you don't get one! : -)

Wash your hands frequently, especially after you come home from shopping (esp. the supermarket!). Try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth, that's how most cold germs are transferred.

Stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, don't stress out.

You can take Olive Leaf Extract, too. It works wonders. If I feel a cold coming on, I start the Olive Leaf, one pill every five hours, until I feel better. It almost always gets rid of the cold before it can take hold. I only use a brand called Ameriden.

I think you'll be fine if you just keep your hands clean and don't stress out about it too much.



Where do you get that Karen?
