I don't like winter for this reason. When it's cold there are viruses and we have flu several times. My mom has a cold and I think I will get it too. I am not sure if it's the flu, but she takes medicine for the flu. The weather is weird. We have rain instead of snow. I am not sure how can I avoid the flu. My mom is a nurse and she brings all viruses at home. She can't avoid them.

The truth is, you can't. Viruses are everywhere. All you can do is protect yourself the best you can.

@dya80dya No matter what you do, you can still catch a bug. Masks don't protect you from catching something. They barely prevent you from spreading something.

I completely understand your concerns, especially during flu season. It's challenging when your mom works in a profession where exposure to viruses is higher.
Any specific remedies or practices that have worked well for you in the past? Stay well!

I can imagine her being around sick people that you do not catch something from what she brings home. I got my flu shot and my corona shot already. When I get the flu shot I never get the flu but when I do not get the shot I do get the flu. Winter is our rainy season in Jerusalem so we have sunny days and days it rainy days too.

Did you get a flu shot? That would help you avoid the flu I am sure.

Oh gosh yeah being a nurse she would be exposed to all virus.
I pray you do not get it Diana.
Do you have cold meds for that?
I have the powdered packets for to make the hot drink..but it is cold medicine and it works.

I cannot stand cold weather either since either my back goes out or I have pain in my right elbow from the cold weather.
