The Plague Hits UM

by Abbey McNeely

In the past two weeks, UM students have faced a foe scarier than midterms: the Montevallo Plague. This particularly nasty strain of cold has flown across campus, taking out dozens of students every day. The symptoms appear to be a combination of bronchitis, the flue, and a sinus infection. Amy Hester explained that this means lots of coughing, headaches, sore throats, and heavy fatigue. 

Luna Shedrick explains foods to combat illness

The plague has been hitting hundreds of students, knocking down attendance levels in huge percentages.

Although the bug is a looming threat with midterms coming up, UM student Luna Shedrick suggested some foods to help combat it. She listed lemon water, honey and garlic as good foods that will make your body stronger.

If you think you are coming down with the Plague, head it off by going to Health Services to get checked. Also, stock up on warm drinks, soups, and cough drops. The Montevallo Plague may be strong, but you can be stronger.
