Emergency wards are overflowing. Stomachs are churning and red noses are raw. Moaning and groaning is commonplace as the flu season strikes its homeruns. Here are a few helpful hints to ward of its blast attack. Suck on zinc lozenges. Spray with Silver…the eyes, nose, mouth and hands. It kills viruses. Chomp on a fresh garlic.
