Anyone else had whooping cough as an adult (also known as the 90 day cough)? Can't take anti-biotics,
so just have to ride it out. How to ruin a cycle season!!! I'm getting the annual flu jag from here on.

    Good call anyway with the 'flu jab, but it won't do anything against whooping cough (or pertussis, as its friends call it). Get yourself vaccinated, get your children vaccinated, if your parents didn't get you vaccinated go round there every day and cough in their faces

    Adults can get pertussis vaccination.
