Sen. John Blutarsky Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 This is the third straight time I've gotten a horrible chest cold after flying out of BWI to Buffalo and back. These are the only 3 chest colds I've ever had. I typically get head/sinus issues. Whoever keeps getting on that plane with yer darned SARS stay home next time please.

It's such a logical thing to want to do, protect yourself from breathing in microscopic particles. But no one ever wears a protective mask. Thus if you decide to wear one, you end up being strange in the eyes of most Americans. And apparantly, round these parts, if you are a bit strange, then you get your cavities searched. Oh goodness, it makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConradDobler Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Drink heavily (just don't show it). Alcohol kills germs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadCap Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 first thing you should do when flying: turn that lousy air blower thingie OFF. Nasty recycled, germ-ladden air... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they reduce the frequency of cabin fresh air changeovers when smoking was banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people think, stupidly, that you are wearing the mask because you have a disease that you are protecting them from. When I flew out to visit my father earlier this year I wore a mask and I didn't get sick. It's worth the strange looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
