    Brits attending office Christmas parties have reported being totally wiped out by a nasty illness afterwards.<\/p>\n

    With various cold and flu viruses, Covid variants and a swathe of other bugs making the rounds, many workers are finding themselves bed bound with more than just a headache caused by one too many pints. And many Brits have no idea which of the diseases they're catching at their festive dos.<\/p>\n

    Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one wrote: "I went out last friday for a work christmas party and have been sick ever since." Meanwhile another added: "So office Christmas party has been canceled cos half of the staff down with the flu and here I am part of the half in the office working."<\/p>\n

    "Mann.. caught the flu at my job's Christmas party. I literally feel likes s**t," a third wrote, while a fourth cautioned: "PLEASE pay attention especially during the holidays when people will be having parties, gather in groups, travel, shop, etcetera. That work party the week before Christmas WILL get you and your whole family sick. Been seeing everyone get the flu & Covid the past few weeks."<\/p>\n

    So what exactly is it that's making the nation sick? According to Dr Babak Ashrafi, a GP for online doctor service ZAVA, your post-Christmas-bash blues could be caused by many things.<\/p>\n
