If there was ever a season to not celebrate, it’s flu season. Statistics show that most people get the flu from October to May. That’s more than six months out of the year.

What is the flu? Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness, and, at times, it can lead to death.
