We had strep sweep through the family a couple of weeks ago. I didn't get it. So far, I'm crediting gargling. 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, about a half cup warm water. A few times a day.

I'm going out on a limb, since it looks like another round of something is going to pass through the household. We'll see if soaking my throat's lintel and doorposts will allow these bugs to pass over.
