I just don't get it. I got a cold at the end of winter and I got another one again now. It's freaking summer. How the hell does one get a cold (or whatever I have) this time of year? And how is it that colds survive in the winter when diseases are supposed to be killed by super cold temps. I guess they have become immune to such weather to survive.

On another note, if you are sick then STAY HOME and don't spread it. Oh wiat, can't since I and many others don't have the sick leave to do so. SON OF A B-HOLE!

 
We should be like the Japanese and where a mask when we get a cold, to stop the spread of disease. It does really make sense.
 
Maybe you have allergies :ohnoes:PS. Thanks a lot for the avatar Nodle.........

Yeah, I was thinking allergies. Probably do have them but my question is can someone get them as they get older? I never had major problems with them until the past few years.

 
I think they can come on at any time not dependent on age, i could be wrong though. :Undecided:
 
I am also pretty sure allergies can come about at anytime in a persons life.  How/why I have no clue, but you can acquire them.

As for getting a cold in the summer, anything about them being caused by cold weather, wet hair, etc is all bunk.  If you have a "cold" you have a virus. 

There are over 110 serologic virus types that cause cold symptoms, and rhinoviruses are responsible for approximately 30% to 50% of all cases.

I was thinking about this the last two years.  It seems like for me also, that I've been getting colds more frequent even though I still exercise and mostly eat the same.  It seems like there are more or stonger virus strains now.  Colds are annoying too, so it sucks when you get one with nice weather. (I had a cold in February and April this year.)
 
Another reason i stay away from hand sanitizers, using to much medicines etc. I think they can weaken your body natural abilities to fight off viruses.

Right on.  They weaken your body, plus the over use of them in general has led to the stronger strains

 
I got my first cold of the season this week. Thankfully, it doesn't seem too horrible. What is everyone's recommendation for a home remedy? I have been taking vitamin C pills, 1,000 mg.
