I rely on EIS and Vit, D3 to keep me free of insults like colds and flu. BUT, for walking on ice, I have another little trick that I learned in Labrador. Some years ago, at Virginia Tech, the campus was a solid sheet of ice. The jocks were having difficulty standing, much less walking. Their jaws dropped when my daughter walked across the parking lot, in high heels, without any problems. It was all because she remembered what I had taught her. "Bend your knees and and step flat-footed" With that you are much less apt to slip and if you do, you will sit down, rather than your feet flying out from under you and landing on your hip, shoulder, and / or head,
Wont help much now, but maybe next time you are out on the ice......

I have a cold at the moment which I caught from my son and I had been taking/spraying CS prior to this, so it didn't stop it. I have been low though since having a fall on the ice (I'm such a wuss)....
