My dad, who grew up in a very poor Italian family, always took a shot of whiskey when he felt some bug coming on.

Your dad was a very wise man! I dunno if the old saw about a moderate amount of alcohol killing bacteria is true, or if it's "all in our heads". Regardless, it works, and that's what's important! :-)

You know, I never really knew my grandparents, and it strikes me that any down to earth, homey recipes/cures I know are because of people on this thread.

If you’ve shared one, you’ve saved lives! ThankQ, all!
