Natural immunity.

Bought the horse paste last year, but plan on not getting the flu again. Had it about 7 years ago, and do not want a repeat.

This group also suggests you wear masks when in close quarters.

the idea is to better the chances of a micro-exposure versus having a dose near or above ID50.

ID50 might be ballpark 30-40 virions. With the newer variants possibly dropping. ~20?

Tissue especially sensitive to infection are the lining of the eyes, throat, lungs.

With delta variants, lining of the nose, most likely.

Intestinal lining too (all variants), but this is usually semi-protected by the stomach (an exception would be a cluster of virions protected by a lucky arrangement of fat and fibre).
