The wretched flu virus is a hard one to shake off. When it strikes, it can prove mighty hard to keep a grasp on your regular routine. More often than not, patients have no choice but to incubate themselves in a dark doona dungeon with fluids aplenty and tv reruns.
\n\tThere\u2019s no doubt about it: flu is rotten. The symptoms exhibited are universal (fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle and body aches, headaches and fatigue) and should be taken very seriously.
\n\tBut some believe they cop it far worse than others. The phenomenon known as \u2018man flu\u2019 exists on the understanding that a virus is able to discriminate its victims based on gender.
\n\tSo what\u2019s the deal with man flu? Is it fact or fiction? Are we right to be cynical? <\/p>\n
