Sorry to hear you were "under the weather" a bit, Mike. Just thinking about your herbs, you know a lot of your kitchen -herbs are medicinal, too, right? Especially the garlic and the thyme you've on your list;-sage, too. All 3 of those herbs kill pathogens.
I tend to grow a lot of medicinal herbs, myself, from arnica to wolfberries. Very handy.
Hope you're feeling better.
