I hope it's not catching, whatever it is that can or cannot be caught, well that's another wrong turn. It's lewis I need.

Nah - just general northern winter health! As the old Yorkshire saying goes: Ne'er cast a clout til May's owt, or tha'll catch thee de'ath' (trans: keep all your winter clothes on until the end of May, if you don't want to die of a fever) probably applies for you too.

Just about to steam the beast prior to indulging in freedom's partner. General unwellness reminds me of a song which someone wrote in Shetland years ago called " Somethin gyaan aboot." It must have been penned at about this season as apparently whatever it was was gyaan aboot in bottles. Freerange, not to be combative but where I came from ( many year ago ) the may referred to in the saying was the may blossom or hawthorn.

For our winter health we make a "tonic": equal parts garlic, onion, ginger root, horseradish root and hot pepper in a cuisinart "marinate" in organic apple cider vinegar at least 2 weeks, strain back into the vinegar bottle(s) and enjoy a tblspoon each morning to greet the day. You can adjust the hot pepper to taste. We find that it helps rebalance the body from too acidic (cold-prone) too more alkaline (healthy). Granted, it is an aquired taste, (like single malt) and you may grow to like it and find yourself saying Ah! or Yeech! bring on the cold! In good health.
