I am writing this from Fiji which is a bit spoilt but lovely.  It’s raining today so here I am playing catch up with my posts and making the most of some quiet time.

I thought I would share with you my, I don’t want to catch any bugs on the way over here experience.  Having been very busy and tired before I flew over and I was concerned about not getting sick the minute I arrived.   Even more so for my husband, who has been very busy also.
  
So I had found these lozenges you can take to stop you catching bugs on the plane and also to build up your immune system.

This magic little bottle of tablets is called Blis Travel Guard and is designed to support your throats natural immune defense.  The idea is that you take four lozenges the day before you travel; four on the day of travel and four during travel.  Suck all lozenges within one hour of each other and repeat on the return journey.

Well, I now need to be truthful and say that I didn’t manage to complete the task and it’s actually quite hard to do. I’ll tell you why.  Normally you are really busy just before you go away and have a huge to do list. But really that wasn’t completely it.  They are just disgusting to suck. I tried to follow it with a drink and it seemed to make it worse.  The long and the short of it is that they really don’t taste very nice.  You are supposed to suck them, which for someone like my husband who doesn’t like the taste of much even on a good day, it was impossible.  He was nearly bringing the whole lot back up.  And to be fair to him, whilst I’m a lot hardier with these sorts of things, I could hardly do it either.

I can’t say I know what chalk would taste like but I imagine it would be similar.  So it remains to be seen if it stops me from getting sick even though I only managed to compete half the task.
