Don't bother with Airborne -they had to pay millions to settle a class action law suit showing they wrongly claimed it prevented colds, and the vitamin C has been debunked as well
When you die can you donate your body to pseudo-science?

Im a big fan of Vitamin D and EmergenC..but you are suppose to start taking the D at the beginning of the crud season and the EmergenC when the symptoms first appear

I don't understand all the fuss about Fest Crud.  Yeah, it certainly is a pain at times, but are you guys saying it's actually made you sick?  That's never happened to me.  I mean, there's dust just about everywhere you go.  True, some areas of Fest have more than the average amount of dust, but it's nothing different than living in the country.  Is the Fest Crud really that bad?  Just honestly wondering.
Well met!  Shall we commence a Safety Meeting at once?

Fest Crud is a nasty combination of dust from the site, dust from the quarry, pollens from the fields surrounding site, molds from the swampland next to the site, and all the germs that the crowd brings in. It's not fun and lasts longer than a normal cold.

Thankfully, no crud for me yet. *knock on wood* I hope those of you who have caught it feel better soon!
Masquerading as a normal person day after day is exhausting.

I really hope you all feel better. I say go for the chicken soup as that always makes me feel better.

Luckily enough for me in 5 years I never once caught the fest crud... but then again I *knock on wood* almost never become ill.
Bubbles are pure magic... if you don't believe me watch any man, woman, or child chase a bubble down the road.

My friend, who is a doctor (although she's never played one on TV), swears by a saline nasal spray. I spritz up each nostril morning and night to ward off the crud. Sounds like a PITA but better than the crud.

Anyone have a tissue?  :-\

I've got chronic sinusitus and I can also vouch for a nasal saline spray as well as netti pots.

I find Amber in the morning followed by a Gunniess followed by beer and loki durning the day, and what ever anyone else is offering during the day. Then after faire going to rum seems to keep it away.....  ;D

Well done, Bacardi!  See everyone, it's important to have a routine and stick with it.  ;)

I find that having a well balanced and nutritional something in the morning makes all the difference in my emotional as well as physical well being during the day.  I like to call it, Breakfast Beer...  at Sots. ;D
Nothing clever to say here.  Not enough caffine yet.

*cough sneeze hack wheeze*

The dreaded Fest Crud has reared its ugly head again..

Anyone else?

Misery loves company ya know...

:'(

Is it the mucus?

The mucus is here.. spasm, spasm! Stop the rocking, stop the rocking!  :D

Thanks everyone! I hope all of you that have been infected with the crud get over it soon, and those who don't yet have it can avoid it for the rest of the run!! I feel about half past dead, but will be trying the beer cure, followed by the loki cure, and maybe the amber cure tonight, and then I shall sleep... *possibly snore since now I've turned into a mouth breather* LOL!  :P Take that Will!  ;)

See you all on Saturday...... @ Sots. I promise I won't breathe on your beer!

No fest crud here so far!....

<knocking on wood>.....

Apparently Gin and I are drinking enough adult beverages to keep the alcohol content in us high enough to kill off the crud before it can take hold!.....

Kiss-me-Kate

Me too.  Just enough to have a little buzz before I have to stop drinking to drive home.
