Oregano oil: Could pizza herb prevent winter vomiting disease?
www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140211211224.htmIncidentally while everyone has dropped off sick around me at work/home at some point this year, I have remained perfectly fine, haha. Heck I remember drinking the remaining half of my mom's water by mistake while she has a brutal cold and being fine. And I worked assembling some product with lady for two days when she had a terrible flu bug, but could not afford to miss work - so we shared tools and worked within a foot of each other touching the same parts etc etc. . I even drank half her tea by mistake as well.
I was nervous being on Imuran and all - but was curious so it was more an experiment on my part for two days to see if I would get sick... I remained perfectly fine, while another lady in assembly came down with the same thing she had.
