Well, I have a new theory. I read an article a while back about the common cold. It noted that the cold virus will not survive over 107 deg Fahrenheit. So, the last time I had a cold starting I smoking a real hot (dry) cigar. Cold was gone.

Is it possible that cigars are a cure for the common cold? Anyone have any experience with this.

Maybe we can do some experiments on curing anthrax as well.

Just a thought.

Any hope for curing overbidders? CB is racking up here lately. CAO Brazilia's bids over CI retail. Almost as good as the empty HDM 135th box for 106.00.

BTW Penicillin can be used to treat Anthrax.

As far as the cold, Nicotine is a vaso-constrictor so it can relieve congestion.

Sara,

I understand that the Russians developed a form of anthrax that is resistant to all known antibiotics.

Pretty scary.

But the cold didn't come back. Needs further testing.

Hopefully the Russians still have it.

the new magic drug for colds is zicam, a nose spray with zinc. it is over the counter. use as soon as you even suspect a cold. of course smoke extra cigars. as they say, it might not help, but it couldn't hurt
