*Warning* Do not read if you are easily grossed out! Yeah I guess it's a virus. My snot seems to be clear so far. I have heard: clear snot=virus. Colored snot=bacterial. Claritin doesn't work for me. Zyrtec makes me feel like I am under a wet blanket for 3 days. I don't like to take tylenol because I drink alcohol regularly. Really though I'm already feeling somewhat better.

Yeah that's what I heard... Green and yellow snot is particularly bad. Plus there is that whole "head cold" verses "chest cold" thing. And I have allergies to boot.

Ya see I told ya it was a virus. Dr. Mom is always correct!!!! and the whole colored snot thing doesn't gross me out. I've raised three kids. You can't gross me out.
