So I have my first cold after coming back home. I was very amazed at how little I got sick while in Finland, especially considering that I was always doing what my grandmother always told me not to: go from warm places (sauna) to cold ones (balcony at -1 degrees Celsius) and vice-versa.
But now, under the (wonderful) heat from my home country, I got sick. Well, it's just a cold... But it was caused because I was feeling really hot at night and decided to sleep with my window open. I think it might have gotten to +19 at night, but still, I woke up sneezing.
I had forgotten how these things go... As Matias said to me, he had never had a cold in a hot climate. But if you think about it, bacteria like warm and humid... And that's exactly what we have here. So it shouldn't be surprising that we would get sick every now and then.
Taking care of the cold is easy, though: a lot of propolis, lime and garlic tea, chewing raw garlic cloves... We have plenty of those home medicines around here :)
