    If you have a fever, get to a hospital right away. I am sure you have heard about SARS - and it has spread to Canada already.
    Take care girl.

    Canada is not the only place at this time, we have had cases in The US as well. SARS, "Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome" is highly contagious. Deaths have occured from this, and it is likened to 'the super flu".
    Best way they say to protect yourself is like any other contagious airbourne disease, ie., direct contact disease, wash hands frequently, do not kiss people who appear to have a cold, and stay clear from highly populated areas. But since we all can't do that, hand washing is always our best bet.
    And since we are pretty much out of flu season, if one gets very ill with flu like symptoms, it's always a good idea to see your doctor anyway.

    It's not just the customers. It's the dancers. I have a cold now that I think I got from the housemom. The problem is that we still need to earn a living, even when we're sick and management also makes you feel really bad for calling out sick (they assume you're faking it.)

    Right now I have a cold and I will probably work tomorrow, even if I'm not better. Gotta pay the bills!

    I have been sick lately, just try to remember that pole probably never gets washed, so every time you get off stage scrub your hands like crazy.

    Remember that one of the dirtiest things in the strip club is the cash Anyone who handles a lot of money will get sick frequently. Vitamins are good, just watch your vitamin E intake. Too much could suppress your immune system. That is why doctors tell you to stop taking E before surgery (also because of blood thinning properties of vitamin E). Use products like echinacia, goldenseal, and ginseng to boost your natural immune system. I also use Chinese herbs prescribed by my accupunturist to help to prevent cold and flu.

    Make sure you get aerobic exercise (besides work), and that you are getting enough protein in your diet. Both of these will help to boost your immune system. I also take a detoxifying supplement called Eviro-detox that helps cleanse the body of free radicals caused by smoke and alcohol.

    I am very sensitive to illness, and always have been. I have to work very hard to not get sick while working, but most winters I get 3-5 severe colds and another 3-5 more mild colds. About every other year I get the Flu, and I have been like this as long as I can remember. I started seeking help from Chinese medicine about 2.5 years ago, and it has helped a great deal. I just haven't had much money this year so I haven't been in lately.

    I might also suggest that you buy organic foods whenever possible. Some people are sensitive to hormones in meat and dairy, as well as the chemicals and pesticides on fruits and veggies.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    I think a lot of girls are susceptable to sickness due to not taking care of themselves properly. You know the type - the party girls. Running down your body leaves it wide open to germs. Drinking/drugs dehydrates. Dehydration prevents the body from properly flushing the germs from the bloodstream.

    Maintain a diet full of fresh fruits/vegetables. Drink plenty of water. Avoid mucus producing foods such as breads, dairy products, and foods laden with sugars while you are ill.

    Hope this helps and your health improves.

    Money and doorknobs. But we can't avoid them, and along comes a customer who we get close to. It's the one thing people in everday business has to deal with.
    The best way to keep yourself clean is to wash. You just can't wash your hands enough! And keep them away from your face!
    I might get a cold once a year, i do contribute this to the fact that i wash alot, working at a hospital makes you aware of all the germs and where they lie. You can not escape them totally, but you can cut down on them tremendously.

    I CAN SOOOO UNDERSTAND. I HAD A SORE THROAT FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS AND WHEN I WORK WEEKENDS IT STARTS AGAIN. IT REALLY SUCKS. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T BREATHE AT THE CLUB. I NEED SOME FRESH AIR AT WORK.

    Buy a humidifier and start putting essential oil drops (camphor, peppermint, etc.) in the water, to clear your sinuses. You can also use saline solution to rinse your nose & throat out (it sounds wacky but Indian people have special rinsing bowls for this treatment, my friend bought her daughter one for her birthday!)
    Even though I take good care of myself, I get sick once a year. Everyone is different, and between traveling & the number of people a dancer is around at work, the odds of catching a virus go up......occupational hazard.
