I am germaphobic (as I have previously revealed) and the fear getting sick is real! It is honestly one of the things I hate most about going into work. People are so disgusting and don't cover coughs and sneezes or wash their hands. It really grosses me out. SO many people sitting around me have been sick. I took an Airborne as soon as I came home yesterday and today. Working from home will let me feel safe in my bubble for a bit. I never want to be sick, but it is worse when I have a WDW trip coming and that I planned 180+ days ago. All I want to do is have the lung capacity to walk 10+ miles and the ability to taste all the yummy snacks and meals I planned out. Inconsiderate people better not take that away from me!
I also take Airborne before flying during questionable cold months and take it to WDW in addition to Sudafed and Mucinex. I agree with
@AmyAnne, if the placebo helps me, I will gladly drink that gross chalky stuff!
