With over 200 viruses causing the common cold, all of which are easily picked up by an unsuspecting bystander, this is one illness that can come any time of the year. The reason more people seem to catch colds in the winter months is simply because more people are kept indoors by inclement weather. Crowded shopping malls, theaters, classrooms provide more opportunity to come into close contact with a cold sufferer and his or her virus. As for cases of flu, they seem to occur primarily between Thanksgiving and Easter each year.

One minute you feel fine and the next hour youre suffering from a fever, chills, and body aches. To decrease your chances of catching a cold or flu, try to stay out of crowds. Wash hands frequently with soap and try to avoid touching your face, mouth, or nose. Children especially should be shielded from second hand cigarette smoke which increases vulnerability to infections. The typical cold will last from 3 to 5 days.

The best protection against flue Terry Messmer When humans overindulge in one of lifes many vices, the most often prescribed cure is sleep. Sleep, which can be so important in renewing the body and mind of a misguided human, can also mean the difference between life and death for small rodents. Like humans, wild animals also face energy crises. Food is the fuel that provides them energy. IN winter, this food is scarce. In order to survive, wild animals must employ alternate strategies. The most common survival strategies are to put on weight (fat) as winter approaches and to store food. A good example of an animal that does both is the beaver. These animals store tremendous amounts of fat in their bodies and tails in addition to piles of trimmed branches stored in their lodges. Others animals, such as squirrels, sleep out the really rough weather, and seek their hidden food caches when bad weather subsides. Most animals recognize that fat is an excellent source of energy and their bodies tend to store it. Since pSleep is the best this fat, sleep becomes an ultimate winter survival strategy for JgfS 4$; 2 3 is early inoculation. Flu sufferers who are elderly, who smoke or are chronically ill can be vulnerable to pneumonia.

They arc not considered classic hiberna-tor- LUNCH-DINNE- s. The only mammals that are true hibemators in Utah are ground squirrels. They curl up in little balls and slip into a very low gear. As snow and ice cover the ground, their body temperature drops to only four degrees above freezing. They may not breathe for an hour at a time. They are so deep in sleep that could actually be tossed back they and forth like softballs without them so much as opening an eye. Yet, even in this deep sleep, if their bodies get too close to freezing their muscles begin to twitch and their heartbeat and respiration will increase, keeping them from death. Throughout this deep sleep they are literally sleeping it (both fat and the winter) off. Not a bad way to diet. Have a wildlife question?
