The annual gathering of bugs and germs has begun. I collect them. Like stamps, coins, or Austrian sausage recipes.

It starts with a sore throat, nasal congestion, head ache, and other ancillary niggles. And lasts anything from a week or so, up to a couple of months. No, really. And far too often culminates in some Christmas bound chest infection. Lovely.

High exposure to dangerous toxins, otherwise known as teenagers, can have no other result.

And my preventative strategy? Clean my teeth and hope for the best! Or at least, it might as well be for all that anything seems to work.
