When I rode a motorcycle year round (in Chillinois) I seldom ever had so
much as a sniffle. When I worked in construction and when I drove a
truck I didn't get sick much. But, when I gave over and started working
inside in an office I got horrible colds, etc.

Then I started riding my bicycle to work and to the grocery store every
other day - no flu and one minor URI (cold) that was gone in short
order.
Since I didn't increase or decrease my pepper consumption I can't say if
that helped or hindered.

But, I do know that the only time I got a flu shot (30 years ago) it
worked. I got the flu.  <GGG>
 
ENJOY!!!
