Just how did this saying get started? Are the symptoms really feverish ? Is there any cure or do we need one ? Is there a pill you can take for it ?
Spring fever ? The symptoms ? sweaty palms, can't eat, eyes go all watery, your legs turn too jelly. It's brought on in men by the sight of women in their summer clothes stirring up a lethargic libido that's perhaps been lying dormant during the winter months.
It's in our genes and the only know cure is a long cold shower
a long cold shower or a long cold beer by the river looking at those women in summer clothes...
God I love spring, summer is just round the corner!
English mentality....
At the very vaguest hint of a warm day us brits wear as little as possible and head outside to enjoy it.
This can be the slight change in temperature from 2 degrees to 5 degrees or simply a day when it doesn't rain

It's the checkout girls in Sainsbury's with their cheerfull smiles that do get my fever up and running
Eating warm bangers while nurturing my lilly white in the suns warm message,
did you garage sale?
Once upon a time, the world was a great deal simpler and life was much less complicated and food was a lot harder to come by and to preserve in the winter months.
By spring people were frequently suffering from malnutrition--or starvation.
There is a lot of work to be done to start Planting Season in the agricultural year--but if you're ravaged by winter shortages, you don't feel like a lot of work.
Hence early spring malaise--and the diagnosis, "spring fever".
A serious note. Thank you Noddyy for diverting us from frivolous thoughts.
A definate nod for noddy,but youth blooms eternally come springtime.
Your frivolity has exahusted me. I'm going to take a nap--in honor of the season.
I plan to bloom at springtime eternally....
better frivolous than michevous, noddy .
Frivolity is a necessity--but other people's frivolity is exhausting. My own is sustaining.
Spring fever is on Crete right now.These days are the best just like the best of spring in NA but wild greens with a life force to live for or cure your self with.
