Antibiotics aren't for viruses. Cold air doesn't make you sick. Tongues don't have "taste zones." Muscles don't have memory.

And because you threw up for one day, you didn't have "the 24hr flu." You ate something bad or someone didn't wash their hands. The flu is short for influenza, which is a respiratory virus, which typically does not make you throw up and shit. More likely it was the dodgy gas station sushi.

Let's keep going...

To be fair, cold air can contribute to making you sick. I got more misled by being told getting a cold had nothing to do with temperature because it is a virus. It is indeed a virus, but you're more likely to get infected if you get cold.

Isn't it more that cold weather makes people gather together in enclosed spaces.

It's a combination of different factors. Cold weather makes it harder for your airways to defend themselves. There are I believe some cold viruses that are viable for longer or are stronger in cold weather, but since the cold is many different viruses I am not sure how much difference it makes.

gas station sushi.

One day I WILL buy sushi from a gas station. I just want to be able to say that I have done it.

I like how everyone bitches about gas station sushi, but the hotdogs being kept bacterial-paradise-warm on rollers until the end of time are A-OK.

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hotdogs have so much salt that bacteria can't live on them. Science.

Bacteria have standards!

Anyone who has taken FDA mandated food safety training can confirm that food borne illness is the cause of most “stomach bugs.”

Also, there’s poop on everything. Wash your hands.

[–] olutukko@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

or don't. you're just going to get more poop on your hands.

(of course you should wash your hand before cooking or eating finger foods etc. but don't overthink it before you end up as germ fobic)

Stomach flu is a thing, different from influenza

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 1 points 4 months ago

It's just a stomach virus, not a flu.

Cold air doesn't make you sick

I hate this one. Doesn't matter how many times I've had to hurry to catch a bus to get to college over the past 3 quarters, my mom will always tell me how I'm gonna get sick from having wet hair because I don't have enough time to dry it after I shower. So far I have yet to have any negative consequences for those (in)actions.
