Gargling salt water…

WOOOOOOSH……

Don’t worry about it. It’s probably just gonorrhea.

A lot of sea water will upset your stomach. Absolutely does not cause throat infections. The best home remedy for their infections is (checks notes) gargling salt water.
You made out with the wrong person, or shared drinks with the wrong person. Don’t blame the ocean, this isn’t Neptune’s fault.

It’s not the salt water. More likely the other human interactions you had.

Take the normal stuff that you have for the symptoms

If you aren't experiencing diarrhea, it's probably not the water. 2+ years of limited human interactions have our immune systems weak AF. Just take some vitamins - especially Zinc and C.

Hydrate, that stuff zaps your throat. I like lemon lime gatorade

If your throat is sore, gargle with salt water, drink hot beverages (think hot tea with honey), drink chicken noodle soup, drink lots of water, and eat spicy foods (I like Pad Thai when I’ll) to help open up my nasal passages and sinuses.

To also help with stuffiness, I get a large bowl, fill it with hot water, and put a towel over the bowl and my head and breathe in the steam.

I hope you feel better soon.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
