For the past week, I've had an extremely-low grade runny nose. It was so low-grade, and so unaccompanied by any other symptoms, that I figured it was an allergy, and a mild one at that. But today I have a full-fledged sore throat. Often these things go away in a day or two with me, so we'll see what tomorrow brings. But alas, I guess the vegan South Beach way of eating is not a miracle cure (or prevention) for the common cold!
