Since its that time of year, what are some of your guys cold remedies? I think all my co-workers are sick and I caught what was going around last week. Started to feel crappy on sat with a stuffed up head and runny nose, sore throat came on sun. I pumped up on vit C and multivitamins, put some vicks 44 rub on at night and took a number of (50/50) lemon juice/honey shots and I have to say I felt really good by yesterday and a million bucks today. Anyone else have some good ideas?

Zicam- It is a liquidy solution that you shoot up your nose, and makes a runny nose go away. Had a runny nose for a week or so, then got a bottle, and it went away in 2 days....
Just don't sniff Zicam like most nose sprays. Burned my scinouses so much I threw up! Bad day.
Hot whiskey.......never tried it probably never will but I have heard of doing that. May be better off with the vitamin C LOL

Psilocybin mushrooms for that really crappy feeling, ache-all-over, hard to kick cold.

I got pneumonia. This really sucks as I cant go riding this weekend and there is suppose to be a couple storms hit us hard. I was only feeling bad for a couple of days. I cant work ride or fight fires now what?
Slice up some citrus, grapefruit, orange, or a couple lemons. Couple cups of water and a couple tablespoons honey. Bring to a boil for a few minutes and add a couple shots whiskey, bring back to a boil then drink like tea. Reciepe is never the same, just depends on what you feel like but don't let the wife have any because you'll have to make her one. Works great and Tastes great!
I use Airborne alot. Especially when I fly or I am at an industry show. Vit C, & also echinessa (sp).
or brandy with tea and honey
I'm sure Zicam is a tad cheaper and easier to get a hold of!
I take http://coldfx.com/ daily. You'll still get the bad viral illnesses that make their way around, but they won't hold you down as long. I used to get nagging colds that hung on for a long time, but since I've been on this, it's made a huge difference. They did studies with it on a couple different NHL teams over a couple seasons and it decreased their man-games lost to illness drastically. A little prevention goes a long way.

I agree!!
We have Airborne stock or should!! We go to Sams club or Costco and buy it in bulk. My hubby who gets sick at least 2 times a year lives on it. They say to start it when you start feeling cruddy, then continue. You may still get a bit of a runny nose, but it does not last as long. Also I have heard try to rub Vicks on your feet and put on socks before bed it is suppose to take away that nasty cough!!!!

Cheaper? Yes, but I could get the coke way easier than Zicam. Had to get a rain check for it at the store, and unfortunately still missed the next shipment. That stuff sells like hot cakes!
NYQUIL!!! take their little cup and fill it to the top, not the 30ml that they recommend but a little more. Go to bed but set my alarm for 4 hours later, wake up take a whiz another good belt of the nyquil and back to bed. I normally wake up feelin a little loopy but no more snotty nose, sneezin, coughin or generally feelin shatty. If you still feel under the weather DO NOT get into the whole dayquil, nyquil roller coaster. Got a story bout that one, won't be doin it again. Well that's my 2 pennies. Oh and don't bother with that buckley's garbage, it doesn't do a damm thing.
