Everyone has had a cold and will continue to have colds throughout their life making it easy to diagnose The nasal, eye and oral secretions of someone with a cold are contagious for about 3 to 5 days. It is impossible for that person to wash enough to keep their secretions off their hands and the objects they touch. When you touch those objects, shake that person's hand or walk through the cloud of water droplets they just coughed up, then you have contacted that virus. But contact itself does not make you sick. If you touch those secretions to your mucus membranes (eye, nose, mouth), then you will get infected. How your immune system is functioning currently will determine if you actually get ill and how ill you will become. If you touch your mucus membranes frequently, then you will probably get colds frequently. If you are in general good health, have good nutrition, perhaps take vitamins and generally keep your hands off your face, then you will probably not get colds often This is a heavily loaded area so bear with me. Vaccination is one hope, but try developing a vaccine to cover a few hundred viruses that is safe and effective and cost effective.

Swallow a spoonful of this. Inhale some of that. Presto! Your aches, your stuffiness, your scratchy throat, your cough and all those other insufferably nasty cold symptoms are history. Well, not really. You wouldn't know it from commercials for over-the-counter cold remedies, but no safe or effective cure for the common cold exists. "Since no one has the time to just be sick for a day or two these days, the makers of cold remedies promise us instant relief," says Naomi Grobstein, M.D., a family physician in private practice in Montclair, New Jersey. More than 800 over-the-counter cold remedies compete for a slice of the multimillion dollar cold remedy industry. "But no matter what you take, cold symptoms won't vanish instantly." "A cold is a collection of symptoms caused by any one of 200 or more different viruses," says Carole Heilman, Ph.D., chief of the respiratory diseases branch at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. "To cure a cold, you'd have to find a remedy that was able to kill any one of the 200 different viruses that may be causing your particular cold. It's a real pain in the neck to find a substance that not only universally destroys viruses that don't behave in the same way but also doesn'tcause side effects. So far, no one has succeeded at finding the magic formula for a safe cold cure."
