Cyberchondria

• Health Issues

I know I’ve made many a visit to RXList.

The average cyberchondriac, Harris says, searches the web for information five times a month. But these net users are also becoming more savvy, with the number of people describing the information they find as “very reliable” falling from 37 per cent in 2005 to just 25 per cent this year.

US becomes nation of cyberchondriacs

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Cyberchondria. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
