When I was 22 myself and an a friends friend of my mother's both caught the flu and had over 6 months of hell, we couldn't think straight we were tired all the time, living life through what seemed a window, I had 6 months of anti depressants and to be honest I never really recovered even to this day that day 20 years ago haunts me as I never had the same outlook on life and have struggled with depressive episodes.
I am now in a dilemma I work in a gp surgery and last year had the jab for the first time and 6 weeks after it, whether related or not, i got rashes all over my torso that the doctor could not diagnose.
I am now in a situation where I ask myself do I risk the jab again and have side effects or do I not get it and take the risks knowing what happened 20 years ago.

Really.
Tissues spread diseases, as many people just leave them on the bar or even in ashtrays, open top bins, whereas you put a handkerchief back in your pocket. Also, many tissues tend to dissolve. Handkerchiefs are also much cheaper in the long run and should be washed regularly and bleached.
