A stuffy nose, coughing every five minutes and a slight headache due to coughing so much are all the symptoms that my poor boyfriend has. Now I thought it had gotten worse because he went to sleep with his hair wet (he washed it last night), since you're "'Not suppose to sleep with your hair wet'" is something that I often heard growing up. I just knew without a shadow of a doubt that you could get sick if you didn't obey the wet hair rule!
Yet according to WebMd's article: Feed a Cold, Starve a Fever? The Truth Behind Mom's Cold and Flu Advice I realized that it wasn't his damp hair that got him sicker...his cold is just running it's course. So I can't go run and blame him for making his self so sick, he was already sick to begin with! I'm assuming the cold is just reaching it's peak and it should lessen as his immune system begins to win the battle! But just between us....I still think that sleeping with wet hair isn't helping your health at all! hehe
So check out the site if you want to see what other myths they expose! Basically in the article they are separating the facts from the myths. Its pretty interesting!
Enjoy the rest of your day and please take care of yourself! I'm already exposed to enough germs at work by people coughing and everything else...then handing me their money! Gross!! (Picture on the left was found here) So please be nice to who ever you are handing your money or credit/debit card to, don't sneeze or cough in your hand then hand the item to the cleric! Whether you're at a restaurant, hotel, motel, shopping mall, gas station, car dealership....just ANYWHERE! Don't do it please because it is so nasty! Please people ......... let's be nice and kind to others.
