| Preventing colds?? On Friday we leave for Disney World! Last Christmas when we went to Disney I got REALLY sick on our last day. Flying back and being (miserably) sick was NOT fun. I guess all the flying, environmental changes, long days, etc. caught up with me. I'd like to start taking something now so hopefully I can prevent getting a cold. Anyone know of any good remedies that prevents you from getting a cold? I'm thinking about getting some Vitamin C tablets.

| Yes vitamin C all the way. Airborne, or any off brand, since it's all the same stuff. Drink two of them a day, they work! There's a lot of people who say it doesn't work (they say it's all in your head, heck it still works, even if I may be tricking myself) but if I feel a cold starting to come on I'll drink a couple of those a day for a few days and the feeling of the cold will go away. This just happened last week. I was at work and I'd feel really hot and sweaty, then cold, and my head was hurting and I kept sneezing. I did the whole airborne thing and it went away! If I'm already sick it doesn't do much except maybe cut my cold down by a day or two. I hate being sick on vacations. I took a cruise a couple of years ago with my parents. During the last 2 days I got strep throat, 102 fever, and the flu. Have fun in Disneyworld!!! I wanna go so badly next year. I've only been to disneyland.

| Kyle...you lucky ducky! I wanna go too...can I come along? I swear by zicam...I think it has zinc in it. I get the zicam nose spray because I don't like the taste of zinc and can't taste it when I use that. I tried the lozenges once and had that icky taste in my mouth. Have yourself a great time, Kyle! Are your babies staying home?

Isn't it horrible being sick on vacation? Luckily, I didn't start getting sick until the night before our last day. Flying home sick... not good.

| 1/2 cup of pomegranate juice a day(it tastes nasty, but, works). Make sure that it isn't mixed with any other juices |

| My husband swears by Airborne...he says the Grapefruit flavor one is the most tolerable. He takes it everyday for about a week before getting on a plane. Me? i'm a believer of carrying Anti-bacterial hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE with me....especially planes. I think airplanes are probably one of the most germiest places. Have a good time on your trip! Kiss Mickey for me!

| That's the commercial that convinced me that Vitamin C didn't work! I'm going to get some today though.
