Andy07 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Man flu' - the psychological condition by which men claim to suffer more from colds than women - really exists, according to a new poll.Males take more time off work than women with colds they think are flu, reports the Daily Mirror. They also moan more, fork out more on remedies and 82% stay in bed until they feel better. The survey of 2,000 people found 64% of men thought they had flu and took a day off compared with 45% of women. But according to Prof Ron Eccles of the Common Cold Centre, Cardiff University, it is women who get ill more. He said: "This is because women have more contact with children - normally the main source of infection." The poll for Nuts magazine found men take three days to recover and women half that time. November is said to be the worst month for 'man flu' - with one in six suffering. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
