Strep Throat

Hi Guys,

My co-worker just called to say she has strep...I just wiped down the entire office with rubbing alcohol but was wondering if there is anything else I should do to keep healthy...I just popped some C vitamins...Strep is very contageous and when I had it 3 years ago, I swear I thought I was going to die! Any suggestions? Have to keep healthy for my e-party next month!

Ecchineacea (sp??) and extra vitamin C. Keep yourself rested & hydrated.

I hope you don't get sick.

buy some zinc lozenges and as soon as you feel a twinge of anything in your throat start sucking on them..and echinacea of course i swear by that stuff..make sure you wiped down the phone too if he used it!!

zinc lozenges..Strep 3 years ago! Omg. I used to get strep every 3 weeks througout HS. I had bad tonsils and a weak immune system. Take vitamin C and Zinc. Rubbing alcohol is castic. You can also use Clorox WIpes, those are a little easier. You'll be ok. Even if you do get strep, you'll survive, i've had it MANY more times than I can count.
