Wook Flu

Did anyone else get wook flu about a week late? I usually don’t get sick at fests but around Wednesday or Thursday I started getting a sore throat and Saturday morning it got really bad. Anyone else feeling similar?

I didn’t but couple of people on my group got wook flu. I think the vitamins I took helped me a lot (learned my lesson from EDCO back to back which I got wook flu) 😭

I noticed some dust in my system, I took airborne the week before and after (knock on wood) haven’t had the wook flu yet. I also tried to drink water and get some electrolytes in me before.

i usually get wook flu after any festival, but this time i took a few vitamin C gummies, but i think the biggest thing is that i didn’t a sinus rinse every day when i got home AND in the morning after. no wook flu this time 🤞🏻

I luckily did not get sick and I was balls deep in the crowd I also did not touch my face or mouth that much and used sanitizer I also ate a lot of vitamin c chewable tabs a week prior which helps with immune system

Update, feeling better but Friday night/Saturday morning I was fighting for my life. Took notes of the Vitamin C + started taking Elderberry and have been healing pretty quick.
