Feeling under the weather? Use this App to find out who gave it to you

Flu app previewFlu app preview 2Help Remedies has produced a fun little app for it's Facebook Page, which allows you to see who may have given you the flu.
If you haven't fallen ill, it can also tell you who to "quarantine" to avoid becoming ill.

The app works by analysing your news feed for mentions of certain words as well as looking at the timings people post, find suspects based upon these guidelines and gives you reasons to avoid them. The app then allows you to send these friends messages, letting you know that you are placing them under quarantine.

The US based health-care company have “won” with some amazing marketing and social awareness campaigns, including handing out “Help, I'm Nauseous" packages outside the Republican Headquarters after election day and creating a bone-marrow donor kit to accompany “Help, I’ve cut myself” bandages in their “Help, I want to save a life” packs.
