The Spin I’m In: A Person Can Develop A Cold

 

"Fever" Peggy Lee

 

Hmmm, I've got a cold…again. Probably my sixth time getting sick in a year. Very strange. I used to rarely get sick, even with a more intense lifestyle. If I felt something coming on I'd hit heavy doses of Vitamin C, Echinacea, garlic, my special voodoo tea (fresh ginger slices, chamomile tea, and orange slices), or I'd bring out the big guns with Oscillococcinum. These ingredients aren't working for me anymore.

LA has just seemed to be one big viral Petri dish in the last couple of years. Someone is always sick with a cold or the flu. It's not seasonal anymore, the same bugs just keep buzzing around and around. These bugs seem to linger as well. I have friends that have had colds for months. What the hell is going on? Is this happening in other places?

Now I know that they tell us that LA has a lot of pollen issues due to the Santa Ana winds stirring things up. Okaaay, well the Santa Anas have always been going on but this perpetual sickness with so many people has not.

I admit that I am a complete sucker for doomsday theories. I still have the remains of my pathetic Y2K survival kit: two cans of vegetarian chili and some paper plates. (The plastic cups were squandered during a party shortly after the new millennium.) Anyway, a friend of mine thinks that the government knows what is going on with these illnesses and they're not telling us. I, of course, now believe this too. I'm serious, what's your theory?
