Fight Back Against Cold & Flu

Most of us don't know what germs we inhale during our average day, but sometimes we do know when we've been exposed. If you braved the rain to take your Aunt Tildy her birthday gift, only to find she has "the worst case of 'flu since 1957," there's some hope for you.

Sure, you know to wash your hands upon arriving home, but what else can you do? Plenty--try this little known preventative and reduce your risk of infection by at least 50%.

Take hairdryer in hand, set the heat to warm, and breath in. That's it, but be sure to do it for 15 to 20 minutes. The warm air isn't hot enough to damage lung tissue, but it will dissipate the cold and flu viruses.
