Colder weather is coming and so is the flu season. Please
restock your medicine cabinets with cough syrup, lozenges,
and other cold remedy products of your choice. Remember
none of these will cure your flu/cold but are for comfort only.
Your best protection? Wash your hands. Cough into
your elbow, not your hands.
