We are right in the middle of a change of seasons (although you still wouldn’t know it in some parts of the country) and that means bugs.

Not the creepy crawly kind, but the sniffy sneezy kind – coughs, colds and flus all make a resurgence at this time of year as the temperatures lower and sleep patterns change, AND as schools, universities and workplaces return to normality after the school holidays.

So we wanted to know – has the “cold & flu season” really started? Have you had a sniffle yet, a full fledged man (or woman)-flu, or have you escaped unharmed so far?

Let us know by voting in this week’s poll, and tell us where you’re from in the comments below!
