Yup, particularly those with a very compromised immune system, or very
susceptible to severe respiratory illness... One of those I used to care
for had COPD... if she caught a cold, chances were it would go to
pneumonia in no time flat... at the first signs of the latter, I was on
the phone with the doctor's office to call in a script for
antibiotics... if we caught it in time, we could avoid that trip to the
ER...  :)

And I'd be in the same case as you, able to ward things off with
probably just upping my Vit C intake.... ;)

Exactly.   :)
