Is it a bird ? Is it a plane ? No, it's the Cold Crusader ! But the chances are he's not the only thing flying through the air. Have you ever seen a slowed down film of someone sneezing ?
Yuck ! Sorry if I put you off your breakfast !!
So, where was I ? Oh yes, the Cold Crusader. The Cold Crusader is a Facebook page dedicated to helping parents nationwide prevent and combat the symptoms of the dreaded common cold in their children. They explain : "Armed with essential top tips, and his secret weapon, the cold fighting
herb Pelargonium, The Cold Crusader has become a symbol for health and
wellbeing, striking fear into winter cold viruses wherever they may
hide! Check out his Facebook site for expert advice, and to find out
more about what you can do to help fight the common cold, and better
prepare yourself for when the first symptoms strike! "
The page provides the latest news in children’s health, expert advice, weekly tips, seasonal advice and exclusive competitions. Just recently, they had a kids colouring/drawing competition to come up with a sidekick for the Cold Crusader and a Q&A session on Mumsnet with Dr Chris Steele, the resident doctor on ITV's This Morning, which you can read here.
The Cold Crusader Facebook page is run by Kaloba Syrup, a licensed herbal
medicine containing pelargonium that has been scientifically proven to shorten the duration of upper
respiratory tract infections, such as acute bronchitis and the common
cold. They hope that the page will become a hub for parents to share news and advice as well as
presenting the opportunity to have their cold-related questions answered. It's got some interesting content on there actually, including the video of the sneeze that I posted above !
