I ALWAYS wash my hands when I get home, especially having been on the bus or the tube. I just try to eat lots of vitamin rich foods and at the merest hint of a sniffle I always have hot water with lemon or fresh squeezed orange juice. What do you do?

I caught a bug last week that last 24 hours. It made me feel very nauseous, like there was a knot in my stomach. It's horrible to think that I picked it up somewhere! WA

i take echinacea at the slightest sign of fatigue, but i take berocca sometimes which is an efervesant tablet that is fillet of vits and minerals. Make your pee go yellowy/green though so don't freak out! Issy x

first of all, i always have my tamiflu anytime i go abroad just in case. Though it has quietened down in the press, it will come back and will be fierce. Besides that, wash hands, eat high vit veg and fruit, and avoid snotty people!!! Disco xx

people still sneeze and cough without covering their mouths. ur supposed to sneeze into the crook of ur arm, not ur hand. otherwise you put ur hand on the railings and then next person picks it up. so thats what i do. or i try to hold the sneeze in, i dont know if thats bad for u?? the reason the flu wasnt so bad was becasue we were taking tamiflu! i felt better just knowing that i had it, and if the flu comes back i know i dont need to panic with everyone else.

By not using testers - have a look at my makeup counter post! I'm not ever going to do any type of tester agin. why dont people wash their hands after the loo??? that's the best way for everyone to keep bugs at bay!

That makes me think of machines in gyms. Not that I go to gyms anymore, but when I did it used to gross me out thinking about the sweat and bacteria on all the equipment. Not many people wash them down with disinfectant after using them. I wonder if there are more signs in gyms now telling people to do that?
