The primary function of most endospores is to ensure the survival of a bacterium through periods of environmental stress. They are therefore resistant to ultraviolet and gamma radiation, desiccation, lysozyme, temperature, starvation, and chemical disinfectants.
Recurring Cold & Flu Symptoms. Hi, I've been struggling for the last 5 weeks with recurring cold & flu symptoms, a lot of sneezing, now i have a cough which is quite chesty, by the weekend i feel completely drained, somtimes quite achy during the evenings. I'm taking paracetomol extra, not suffering from high temp though.
Because recurring cold virus likes cold body. Core temperature changes throughout the day and is dependent on the activity level. Usually the body temperature is the lowest in the morning. This is the time when you want to measure your temperature. Keep in bed under covers, do nothing, just relax, and test. Temperature (oral) below 36.3Â°C (97.3Â°F) may be contributing to recurring colds.
