Flu season has arrived. Combine that with a regular commute to and from work and you have Commuteritis! A distinctly virulent & drug resistant flu strain capable of removing most of the office of its staff.
And me too. I have recently been down and out due to the flu. Thankfully I have my awesome wife looking after me with all manner of remedies.
Sure, there some regulars like vitamin c, lemon & honey tea, ginger milk and rest. But after a day or two of that when I still wasn’t getting any better, she tried some more… umm, ‘interesting’, flu remedies.
“I’m going to put a chopped up onion next to the bed” I hear her say
“Uh huh…ok..” I say. According to the internet this is an age-old flu remedy.
“Can I put some honey and onion on your forehead?” she asks.
“Umm, No”. I just can’t get on board with a remedy that requires bits of onion on my head. Call me old-fashioned.
I also somehow agreed to drinking some kind of ginger, honey and onion concoction. It actually tastes not bad. In a sweet, oniony kinda way. Or maybe I’m delirious with flu
Strangely enough, it seems to be working...
