Health Tip: When you are sick with a viral illness ( cold, etc) you are most contagious when you have a fever, and when you are coughing. You should avoid being in public settings for 24 hours from your last fever, and always cough towards your elbow, to contain the air droplets.
According to the CDC, most of us get about 3 to 4 coughs and colds a year. Most of the time these are just passing viruses,that can often leave us feeling sick for days. Some people spike fevers easily, while others can have the same ailment with no fever at all. The important thing to remember is that the fever is usually an indication that you are 'congatious' and should stay home if possible. This will help cut down on tramission of these little bugs that go from one person to the next so relentlessly!
As the Spring begins here in NC, I start thinking ahead ahead to warmer weather, knowing that we will hopefully all be healthier as we open our windows and breathe the fresh air!
Here's wishing you a Happy Spring!
