This thread is only for people with the sniffles. I'm pretty sure everyone has the sniffles in the world right now but just in case if you don't then get out.

If you have a fever and you're taking some good rear end ny'quil then post on brother. Alternatively, if you have coughed so much your back muscles are strained and sneezing hurts really bad, then you are still alloewd to post in this thread.

If you are healthy then gently caress off.

If you are pumping salt water through your face with a netti pot, then you can post here.

If you are eating some tortilla soup, or onion soup, or chicken noodle soup because your throat hurts you can post here but not if you're eating it just because you are fat and like it.

Are we allowed to post here if we get sick every late December/early January but it hasn't happened yet this year and we're getting more nervous by the day because we know it's coming? If it helps influence your answer OP I also think tea is garbage water.

Did you get the flu shot? On 60 minutes the other day they said it was a super close match to this years flu strain.

And I didn't get the flu shot this year because I thought I was smart and cool for not paying 10 bucks to the man. What an rear end in a top hat.

I did however travel to a friends house that has children. I knew what I was getting into.

I didn't get a flu shot this year because they were out of them when I saw my doc in November and then I forgot to follow up. My parents got them and then got the flu anyway just after Thanksgiving. Tricky little bastards, those viruses.

Thanks for letting me post here hope u feel better.

Second year getting the flu shot.

Got a really bad case back in 2014. Started with me getting horrible pain in my hips and knees due to the joints becoming inflamed.

Had to take a week off work (unpaid).


Only good thing that came out of it was watching The Wolf of Wall Street on a high fever the night before I went to the doctor.

I helped my inlaws move. I swear my mother-in-law is sick at least 1/3 of every year, and she was motherfucking sick when I helped her move. I didn't know 'til it was too late and I had already shared a pipe with her.
The next day, my beloved aunt who is currently going through chemo for breast cancer tells me she's going to drop by and visit in a couple days while she's over here getting shots. I realize like 20mins before she shows up that even though I feel fine, holy gently caress she can't come near me, I could be carrying the sniffles, and that kinda poo poo is major bad news when you're doing chemo and dealing with cancer poo poo. I couldn't let my dear auntie into my house!
Two days later, and here I am, nose running like a mofo fountain. Contemplating shoving a lite-flo tampon in each nostril to sleep, but at least I didn't kill my dear aunt or something.

I had to go on a business trip the week prior to my bachelor party and this fat kid was sick on the plane. Lo and behold, that fat little bitch gave me a cold and I couldn't die from alcohol poisoning because I couldn't hold it down.

If I could ever kick a child in the head I would pick that kid. gently caress that fat little dirtball.

Oh holy gently caress, I feel you. The last time my sister visited me, she took a piss in the Dallas airport and the sound of some poor woman vomiting and making GBS threads out her soul was coming from a couple stalls down. She washed her hands and got the gently caress out of there as fast as she could, but 3 days into her visit everyone in my parents' house came down with the plague, including my 89yr old grandma.
There are only so many bathrooms in mom n' dad's place, so I found myself literally making GBS threads in the tub and barfing into the trash in the bathroom across from my older sister who was on the toilet screaming at god to just let her die already.
Rock n' roll, dude.

A cold virus can kill you.

It replicates faster than your white blood cells can kill it.

Your body takes a piece of the virus and goes into a sort of "search mode" where it circulates through the lymphatic system looking through your database of T-Cells, one of which is the right one that has the correct specific protein sequence that will stop the virus from replicating. Like searching for one correct key located somewhere in several piles of thousands.

When it finally finds the matching T Cell it mass replicates it and every last virus is destroyed and you're cured.

When you have cold symptoms, it means your body is still searching for the correct T Cell. The longer you have the symptoms and the worse they get, the longer it is taking. If your body can't find the correct T Cell in time, you die.

When you get a flu shot, this is like "priming" your T Cell database, sort of like saying to your body "OK you've encountered a virus, check these T Cells first before going on an exhaustive search," if all goes well it will find the right T Cell right away and you might not even notice any symptoms.

When you grow old, your T Cell database starts to degenerate. That's why old people eventually die of a cold or something, even if they don't have other problems.

If you get the HIV virus and don't treat it, it will attack your T Cell database (at which point it's AIDS) and you will die from it. Modern HIV treatments slow or stop the virus from being able to attack the T-Cells. But they don't get rid of the virus; you have to take the HIV meds for the rest of your life or you lose your database.





(I have no idea what the gently caress I'm talking about.)

Is that when you just hold one side of your nose shut and blow your nose all over the Earth? We call it the "Kentucky Handkerchief" here.
