When I get on the plane, I wipe down my seat, tray table, seatbelt buckle - basically anything I’ll touch - with antibacterial wipes. I get some weird looks but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It’s a small price to pay to the con gods. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I do this every time I get on a plane, too!. Also, make sure to get the back of the seat in front of you, the part that the tray table touches when it's not down.
Five minutes ago someone started hacking up a lung in my office. I popped in an Emergen-C tab, drowned myself in antibacterial hand gel, and sprayed every surface with disinfectant spray. Overkill? You betcha. But I will NOT be the cause of other people's Con Crud. I won't be bringing my coworkers icky germs with me to con.That said, I'm also preparing my game plan for the con itself. I got the Emergen-C to take during the con to boost my immune system. I also got some pocket anti bacterial hand gels and a packet of portable hand wipes.What's your battle plan against the crud?

Oil of Oregano!
I'm from NY and ride the subway/train constantly.
Never heard of this one before! I’ll look into it. Sounds like your immune system has been built up a lot. That’s super cool for you! Unfortunately not everyone gets exposed to germs that frequently to have a tough immune system. I gotta prepare.
I'd still rather not catch a cold and be recovering from it by the time the con comes around. And I'd also rather not waste PTO before the trip either. As of now, I'll return with only 5 hours of PTO to spare so even missing one day from a cold will suck a lot. Rather just not risk it.
Slightly OT, but I prefer that sick and vacation days are all the same PTO at my job. When they were separate, my sick days would expire at the end of each year, so I would sometimes lie to my work to be able to use them before they went away (I was lucky enough to only rarely get sick). Now that all time off is the same (and never goes away unless you hit the maximum 'capped' amount), I can be honest with my work, which lets them and me plan around my absences. It's much nicer for everyone that way.
I woke up on Monday the 14th feeling like absolute crap. I had come down with a random cold. Sore throat, headache, couching. I think it was something going around the office because a few people took sick days. The next day, when I was heading to SD, I felt just as miserable. But I had loaded up on All The Meds. Dayquil. Airborne. Halls drops. Aspirin. Water. And by some miracle, by the time I landed in San Diego, I felt a lot better. Well enough that I even had a margarita. By Thursday, it was like my cold never happened.So yeah, go meds!
