Yes, this has been a bad year for bugs. I have noticed that the parents seems to be getting the illnesses first then their kids. Of course, the parents don't tell me they spent the weekend with one end or the other in the toilet, it is only when their child gets sick that they fess up that "yeah we had it on the weekend" REALLY, GOOD TO KNOW!
Even myself, who has had a good immunity build up after 7 years in the business came down with bronchitus over the latter half of the holidays.
One of my clients is a chiropractor and is ever vigilant with his naturopathic way of life and he has been sick twice in a month. The experts say there could be another wave of the flu to come this winter.
For the parents who read this forum, please be honest as to what illness is running through your home and let your provider know so we are not caught off guard and so we can also be more vigilant in detecting the beginning of illness symptoms in our dck's and our families. Also a sick provider is no good to you.
