     Last year while in Korea people were missing work, 
going to the hospital, etc...  They had flu shots and took 
vitamins and got fruit from the commisary... still were sick 
for 5 - 10 days.
     I, on the other hand, ate on the economy (lots of kimchee)
and ate the hottest things I could find.  Got a stuffy nose I
was rid of in 36 hours.
     I do a few other things to avoid getting sick:

1)  I go out to get the paper barefoot the first time it snows.
2)  I don't bundle up as soon as the temp drops below 50 F.
     (That's around 10 for you, Doug).  These 2 things help my 
body get used to the fact that it is getting colder, and (I believe)
help ramp up the old immune system.
3)  I don't get a flu shot.  These are prepared way in advance
of the flu season and are a "best guess" at which one strain,
of the many out there, will hit big.

Scott... oh yeah, always follow the 10 second rule... KCK
