One occupational hazard of lecturing is the common cold. If you stand at the front of a banked lecture theatre then you are likely to catch all the colds around, as students cough, wheeze and sneeze asynchronously in your direction. Usually I catch a cold every autumn. It's rather later than usual this year. To judge by the volume levels of the coughing in the lecture halls, it's a rather severe cold this year.
Tomorrow I shall make chicken soup and see if I can persuade it to go away.

Day and night nurse capsules are quite effective, if you don't mind taking drugs for it. And half the people at work, and at least one doctor I've seen, swear by vast amounts of vitamin c and zinc.
