So, What Wicked Bug is Wreaking Havoc?
Now, before you grab your hazmat suit and flee the state, let's dispel some myths. California isn't exactly ground zero for some apocalyptic plague. But, there are a few common cold-and-flu-causing critters making the rounds.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
- The Usual Suspects: The influenza (flu) and the ever-present common cold are prime suspects. These seasonal sneetches love to crash the party, especially during the fall and winter months. Think of them as the annoying relatives you can't escape at Thanksgiving dinner.

California Viruses: Not All Doom and Gloom

Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
