Justy - have something mega spicy today! Honestly I swear by chillies to kill off colds and flu... When I was a chef and used to get the back of the nose/throat tingle, I'd make a tea by pouring boiling water on crushed chillies. Once cool, I'd gulp it down quickly. Yes it's hot but it'd kill off whatever was developing in my throat and I'd rather have 5 minutes going 'hot hot hot hot' than 5 days with a cold! Plus there's always the possibility it could develop into the deadly manflu strain, which we all know is horrific.
