i'm not a doctor but i have had three kids and the best way to protect yourself from a cold is to keep your hands away from your face wash your hands especially if you have been out in public anywhere like the grocery store. sometimes you can't help it someone around you will sneeze producing droplets that get in the air. i also try to eat oranges and drink plenty of orange juice.
do most people get infected by the common cold when touching the nose when touching the eyes or breathing in droplets? . it is known that most people contract a cold virus by those three pathways/vectors. however which of them is the most commonly occurring one in the population?
