I think the advice to wash your hands as much as you can is the best you can get.
Did you have the flu each year as a child? Did you sweat through the fever without drugs?
After 32 or so I never got sick again with a fever, I think it's just something we all go through. If you're young, maybe under 25 it is expected.

I use one ofthose "no water needed antibacterial" stuff.

a squirt every so often between classes and i'm rdy to go.

Anti-bacterial products create superbugs. All you need is soap and water.

I also came from Canada, also rarely got sick, and also got over any sickness rather quickly. I got sick several times in Korea throughout the year. It's certainly the new bugs.

But my biggest tip is to get a humidifier during the winter! I'm from Vancouver, and we enjoy a relatively humid winter. But in Korea, it's incredibly dry. I was getting throat infections constantly in the winter.

Vitamins and bulgaris in the morning.

Soju and beer at night.

Good long sleeps.

Works a treat for me. Haven't been sick in three years, or nothing worth writing home about.
