mexican flu

[kandrathe]

I will just try to eat enough oranges, and maybe go to work by bike in autumn and winter instead of going by metro. I don't feel like getting a vaccine (and I am not in a group that gets precedence either).

It appears to be taking its toll in Argentina.

Oranges, while yummy, won't help against a virus. I try to eat 2 or 3 every day, but I find they do more for mental acuity and the glow of my inner child than for my immune system.

You would be likely to get H1N1 from the metro, shopping, at the pub or work too. My best advice would be to wash your hands, because if you get it from air born particles then there is not much you can do to inconspicuously avoid them. My biggest risk was/is from my children, because they interact with dozens of other children and desire to have lives filled with going to the zoo, or parks, or swimming at the beach.

The only known way to prevent it is by getting flamed by Pete, which I see you've already requested. You have nothing to worry about.
