If one wears garlic bracelets too, it might be possible to win the plane seat arm rest battle.

Article along with recipe for making your own elderberry juice/syrup.

https://wellnessmama.com/1888/elderberry-syrup/

"Dr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu, of Hadassah-Hebrew University in Israel found that elderberry disarms the enzyme viruses use to penetrate healthy cells in the lining of the nose and throat. Taken before infection, it prevents infection. Taken after infection, it prevents spread of the virus through the respiratory tract. In a clinical trial, 20% of study subjects reported significant improvement within 24 hours, 70% by 48 hours, and 90% claimed complete cure in three days. In contrast, subjects receiving the placebo required 6 days to recover."


My MIL used to make elderberry juice and can it. Once when I was feeling take-to-my-bed sick she dosed me with half a quart over several hours. The next morning I was cured and ready to go shopping with her

I picked up some elderberry capsules a week ago. Some people at a mini family reunion were getting over colds and laryngitis. I started dosing with Vit D, Vit C, elderberry capsules and homeopathics - and did not get sick. My sister did get sick. But who knows what else is at play. She had been working hard during their move to a new house and was not getting as much sleep as usual.

Agree with declining airline served items, bringing your own bottle of water on board and having soapy or disinfectant wipes for the airplane tray table, etc. Don't forget the latch!

YMMV.

I used to get a bad cold nearly every time I flew for business years back, and my sister, a homeopath of sorts, told me to drink apple juice on the plane. She said it gives a boost to your immune system. I was so desperate I tried asking for a full can of apple juice on every flight from then on and the colds stopped. I was amazed. DH does the same and another friend who had same prob tried and it works for her, too. Sis has had lots of crazy sounding advice over the years, but I swear by this one. We also always bring a water bottle to stay hydrated in between. We travel nonstop for fun now!

I plan to eats lots of fresh garlic, that way I kill 2 birds with one stone. Keep out the cold and have plenty of space between me.
