Each and every year cold and Flu season rear their ugly head which is why I tell you to wash your hands often and don't stick your fingers in your eyes.  It will keep you well when all other around you are down for the count.

Which brings me to my next point, how many of us have fallen under the weather and god bless WebMD they are ready with a response via a new webpage.

WebMD has built an online Symptom Checker so you can see how the flu is affecting those in your neighborhood.

So whether you like feeling superior because you have dodged the Cold/Flu bug so far or if you have succumbed and want a little company chick the symptom checker link above and Happy New Year.

Need a Flu shot? You don't need an appointment at local area Rite Aids, Hannafords or Walgreens
