I have had a cold for the past 6 days and for the last two I've found a combination of drugs that have made it tolerable enough to let me swim. I take Nyquil (generic kind) an hour before bedtime and Musinex D just before I leave for work. At approximately 5pm, I take a 1/2 dose of the Musinex D. I feel good enough to practice for a little while (45 min).
If you have things that work for you please pass them along. Thanks, Coach T.

It sounds like a couple of people here might prefer their doctors exam them without washing their hands.
But they do wear gloves.....................
Which brings me to another point.
At Health Food stores where the food is sold in bulk (and ladled or scooped out), they insist we wear those one-size fits all plastic gloves.
However the way I see it is:
if my hand is dirty (that's why they want me to wear a glove before scooping up food) then that dirt will be deposited on the (outside of the) glove as I pick it up (from the outside, perforce) to put it on. And so the surface that might come in contact with the food is soiled.
Hand sanitizers are a good alternative to hand washing. They kill the germs as well but do not dry out the hands. You also don't have to worry about germs accumulating on the pump, since you don't touch it after sanitizing.
Agree 101%
