The Flu Square Dance
Now fling those covers with all you’ve got,
One minute cold, the next minute hot.
Circle right to the side of the bed,
Grab the tissues and Sudafed.
Back to the middle and don’t goof off;
Hold your stomach and cough, cough, cough.
Forget about slippers, dash down the hall.
Toss your cookies in the shower stall.
Remember others on the brink;
Wash your hands; wash the sink.
Wipe the doorknob, the light switch too.
Now you’ve got it, you’re doing the flu!
Some like it cold, some like it hot;
If you like neither, then get the shot.
Does Being Cold Make You Sick?
Can being cold make you sick?
“You’ll catch your death of cold!” Grandma says when you show up with just a sweater on in the winter. So you once again explain to her that you aren’t allowed to wear a coat in class because of security rules and there’s no place to put one where it won’t be stolen. But does cold weather make you sick? No. And yes. AsapSCIENCE explains the nuts and bolts of winter weather and colds and flu.
Put another way, cold weather makes me sick. Sick at heart when I have to venture out to start the car early. And sick to my stomach when I think of the heating bills. And I think it might affect my arthritis a bit, too.
