Reminder: It’s Purell season as flu spikes in Boston

Looks like it’s that time of year. Flu cases in Boston ERs doubled in recent weeks, but mostly it the outbreak was among children under five. That usually means (a week or two later) that adults start showing up with the flu. Just remember to keep a bottle of alcohol-based hand sanitizer with you at all times. No, we don’t mean vodka, we mean something like Purell.
