sore throat and neck pain no fever :: Article Creator 5 Reasons Why You Have A Sore Throat But No Fever Sore throats are often caused by a viral infection which may raise your body temperature slightly. Other causes of a sore throat without a fever include allergies, acid reflux, and STIs. Normally, you don't need to see a doctor for a sore throat if you don't have a fever to go with it. Sore throats are incredibly common, accounting for about 4% of visits to family practitioners. The majority of sore throats are caused by viruses, which can raise your body temperature slightly, but usually not enough to cause a fever (100.4 °F or more).  Sore throat without fever can also be caused by allergies, reflux, STIs, behaviors like yelling or singing, and environmental irritants. In most cases a sore throat with no fever is nothing to be worried about. "Generally a sore throat without fever is less of a concern than a sore thro...

A warehouse being used as a makeshift hospital for flu patients in 1918 It is 100 years since the influenza pandemic killed millions around the world, a death toll far worse than the bubonic plague.

The intent is not to stockpile products but to have a modest supply for use during the next growing season. Keep in mind that many herbicides (especially liquid products) typically don't have a long shelf life, so make sure to keep your inventory fresh and don't purchase more than what you can use within two to three years. In general, dry products tend to last longer if properly stored, but their effectiveness still degrades over time. Also, wh...
