I often used to get off flights and within hours/days would have a streaming cold.
I asked a flight attendant on a flight where every other passenger seemed to be sniffing and coughing, how she coped with all these people with colds.
She said she took Echinacea before her flights, and she very seldom ever got a cold.
Wife and I did same from that time, and have never had another cold getting off any flight.
When grandkids came around with sniffles the same, take an Echinacea, and 99 times out of a 100 we didn't catch it, where as before taking them, for me at least, it was a guaranteed cold.
One point. They are not recommended to be taken continuously for more than 14 days.
We take a few days before a flight, or on exposure to cold/flu symptoms, and for a few days after.
I trully believe they boost the immune system, which in these times, is not a bad thing.
