Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
The stupid thing is I know exactly how I got it too. My wife had it for around two weeks previous and lost her voice and everything. Then a couple weeks ago I stupidly grabbed her cup from the night before which hadn’t been washed yet (I usually wash them up in the morning) to quickly get a cup of water to drink. I remember thinking “it’ll be fine…”
In my experience, there’s not much I can do to stop myself catching it. I just try to eat lots of oranges.
Does it do anything? I’ve been drinking a lot of lime/lemon juice
Well I get sick all the time so who knows 😆.
I have previously read that vitamin C is important for the body before you get sick, but not that helpful once you get sick. As in if you regularly have plenty of vitamin C you are less likely to get sick, but once you are sick no amount of vitamin C will make you get better quicker.
Edit: Turns out even the pre-cold effect is minimal:
Well at least you’re supporting your local orange seller
