Chicks, now I'm sick?

If you have not been sick for a while, maybe you are just due.

I think you might be right. I'm just pissy about it hahaha

I'm leaning more towards your bedding for the chicks. As the chicks trample and rummage through the bedding there kicking up a consistent amount of dust from it. And the dust lingers in the air for hours especially in a closed space. When you visit them your walking through it and it covers your entire body with it. So your carrying it with you indoors.

Consider opening a window or door to vent the dust out. If you have a box fan aimed outside will get rid of it faster.

@Redbirdacres Have you been checked for the Coronavirus? Sounds like the symptoms, starting with a sudden onset.

My area has an increase in colds as people are getting back to normal.I picked up a minor cough, then secontrary sinus infection, bronchitis, and double ear infections. Be smarter than me and rest lol.

I recommend Simply Saline. It's great to flush irritants and the salt reduces swelling. Plus no need for special water and deep cleaning as with a neti pot.. My doctor recommends the trifecta of Claritin, flonase and guafinesin. Good luck!

I wish we could but it's 32 degrees with a real feel of 22 and possibly thundering mid week and snowing over the weekend. Welcome to WI LOL!

No I haven't. No need really. I'm out in the middle of nowhere and they wouldn't do anything for it with only sinus symptoms so I'm treating with supplements the way I would any virus. If it turns into a sinus infection, I'm certain they will test me prior to doing anything else.

I desperately want to do a neti pot but distilled water is very hard to come by :/ I asked my husband to get purified water and I'll boil it as an extra precaution. I can feel it in the sinuses (nothing in the nose) and want to flush it out.

Well I did a neti pot this evening, expected to get a ton put, not much but it did feel good and I could breatheee......for 15 minutes. Oy. Oh well! Spring will be here soon and we'll be outside in the sunshine.
