Is it safe to be flying with a sore throat?

Safe for you but...: It is safe for you but may not be safe for your fellow passengers, as germs are easily spread in the environment of an airplane! please make sure it's not strep throat- if it is it will be unlikely to spread if you have been on antibiotics for a couple of days. Try to not touch others. If it's viral i advise taking pelargonium sidoides, sold as umcka at health food & drug stores, proven to help!
