Damnit. Now I feel like I'm coming down with something today. Post nasal drip, scratchy throat, mild headache. I think you got me sick, Matty.

I am a certified germaphobe and I go through a couple of the big bottles of Purell a month. If you can't get to it, or haven't washed your hands thoroughly, as long as you don't touch your food, or put your fingers in your mouth for any reason, your chances of catching the stomach virus (medically known as Norovirus) go way down.

The problem is eating out -- you can still catch it if someone who has it handled your food. I also try to cut down on eating out during the sick season.

That's exactly how I feel, but I've been really tired too. Yesterday when I got home from work I went right to bed and slept until about 7:30, I got up and got something to eat and went back to bed around 10:30. I feel a little better today but I'm still tired.

Matty, I asked the pharmacist about Zicam -- if you take a one-a-day vitamin with zinc, it has the same effect.

That'll save you about 10 bucks, but any way you can boost your immune system it'll shorten the duration and lessen the severity of a cold.

So there you go. Free advice from the germaphobe.
