What a load of nonsense - if rubbing garlic and onions on your nose really stopped flu at once there would be no epidemic. And as for catching the flu from wearing light clothing and no hat - it might cause hyperthermia but as the flu is caused by a virus, you have to actually come in contact with the virus to get infected. More sensible advise would be to wash your hands or use hand-wipes - especially after coughing or sneezing - to prevent the spread of the virus. Stop greeting people with kisses, don't let children share their utensils or drink from the same cup and always sneeze into a tissue. I sincerely hope that the advise given by Bakharom is not being endorsed by the medical proffession - no hope for Kyrgyzstan if it is!

Thanks to Dr. Bakhrom for spreading fear of the Swine Flu to neweurasia and offering such helpful advice as putting onion juice in your nose and which topical ointments to use to stop its advance. And since when does not wearing a hat cause the flu? This piece is a farce. I am more than a little disappointed by this article.
