Got a good cold remedy?
I got a dang cold..or flu bug?...about a week ago and am tired of missing fishing trips. (Was supposed to go this morning and had to pass.) My post
count is getting way too high from all this sitting around the casa.
What's your remedy? Any good over-the-counter stuff that worked for you? Or...?? Thanks.
I can be headed for Mulege's pharmacy real quick and get about anything from my good buddy, Rueben, shown below outside his farmacia in the town
square.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Pompano, It's been a tad too foggy these past couple of days for venturing out on the deep blue sea. Have you ever tried oregano oil? After one dose,
if it doesn't help with the cold you won't admit it. Mighty potent
stuff!

Sure, Black Label should work fine. It's for special occasions and I would say this qualifies. Specially if it gets you back out on the boat. Take
it straight up, you don't want any ice cubes when you have a cold.
Buena suerte,
++Ken++

My Grandma swore that a "Hot Totty" (Not sure of the spelling) was always the answer to a cold.

Ken...sounds good to me.
We'll give it a little test while waiting for some other suggestions!

Wrap umeboshi (pickled plum), garlic and orange peel in aluminum foil.
Burn them in a pan over medium heat for about 3 - 4 hours.
The ingredients will turn into a sort of black charcoal, mash that up into brown powder.
Take 3 teaspoons of this powder in a day.
>>>
Then again, you may want to try the Black Label.

BMG...You have been watching too many late night Tarzan and the Witchdoctor movies. Even if I could FIND a pickled plum...after burning that
concoction on Felipa's new stove, I might as well go terminal.
P.S. Am now trying another Px of Black Label. Ain't half bad.

Sudafed.......and Black Label. Guaranteed to give you much needed relief.
Sudafed is hard to find here. Maybe you'll have better luck down there. Ask your neighbors to search their medicine cabinets.

Sudafed sounds good. Will run next door ... an ex-nurse abides therein.
edited to say I went next door and got some Sudafed to put into the skotch.

Lemon juice, honey and rum in a mug or jarrito, fill with hot (just boiled) water. Sip and repeat until you don't care about the cold.
Some call this a hot toddy.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Agreed.
Just take some tylenol and go fishing anyway. When you feel tired just kick back and let the boat rock you. Go easy on yourself and do as much as you
feel up to.

I see Elizabeth is muy intelligente....TheraFlu....MINUS the tequila will at minimum make you feel like you're going to live!!
Though I doubt you'll find it at your local Mulege tienda! I have a stash here in La Paz that my builder has been tapping into....he's now a TheraFlu
advocate! With the hangover from all those booze "remedies", on top of your cold, you'll wish you were dead!
