Answer to Question 2

Candombl is an Afro-Brazilian faith founded by blacks in the Bahia region and is now practiced nationwide by followers of all ethnicities. Followers of candombl believe that health is maintained by achieving balance between the earthly and spiritual spheres. The pai-de-santo or babalorix (high priest) or the me-de-santo or ialorix (high priestess) may be hired to read the oracle of a personal orix, for example, so that an individual can improve his or her relationship with the deity. Harmonious relations with one's orix can maximize ax (vital force). Spiritual equilibrium is maintained by observing the preferences and prohibitions of one's orix, including certain foods and beverages, colors, therapeutic herbs, beaded necklaces, and other limitations. The priest or priestess also serves as the local curendiero, diagnosing physical and spiritual problems, prescribing healing herbal baths or botanicals, and manipulating occult forces.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
