Colds are easily spread from person to person in the following ways: through the air, whenever a child with a cold coughs or sneezes; through direct contact, whenever a child with a cold touches his saliva or runny nose and then touches another child; through indirect contact, whenever a child with a cold touches her saliva or runny nose and then touches an object, such as a toy or furniture.

Herbal industry experts say Americans spend about $400 million each year on cold treatments like zinc and echinacea. But natural remedies such as these are only loosely regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and are on the shelves despite conflicting evidence about whether they work.

73. Facts About The Common Cold Here s what modern research has to say about the common cold and current treatment. What Is the common cold And How Is It Caused? http://abrannen.home.mindspring.com/alag/colds.htm

Facts about the Common Cold For at least 3,000 years men and women have been trying to cope with the common cold. They have been armed with faith, superstition, and hope. They have been advised by Grandma, the next door neighbor, and the advertising copywriter. And they have bowed, year after year, to the persistent, perennial, plaguing cold. Here's what modern research has to say about the common cold and current treatment. What Is the Common Cold And How Is It Caused? Who Gets A Cold? At least one-half of all Americans catch a cold during the winter. Almost one-quarter of us catch a cold during the spring. School children and patients in hospitals or other institutions have six- to-twelve colds per year. Parents of young children average six colds a year, and older adults with fewer social contacts have only two or three colds a year. This leads researchers to conclude that age and environment are the major factors controlling the number of colds you catch each year. How Do You Catch A Cold? Though a virus causes your cold, a number of conditions seem to increase your susceptibility (how likely you are to catch a cold) People appear to catch colds mainly indoors. Certainly they get more of them during the colder months. This is probably because of more indoor living in proximity to other people's cold viruses. Closed windows and a lack of ventilation with fresh air allow viruses to remain alive and on hand. Fatigue, poor physical condition, some air pollutants, stress and menstrual cycles seem to make you more susceptible to viral infection. Contrary to popular belief, cold weather neither increases your susceptibility nor alters the course of a cold. How ever, stress and cigarette smoking seem to make symptoms more severe.

Although garlic has been traditionally used to fight off and treat the symptoms of the common cold, this is the first hard evidence of its medicinal properties. However, more research will be needed to corroborate the data. Common cold factfile The common cold is the most common disease of mankind Adults catch between two and four colds a year. Infants and young children suffer between six and 10 colds each year. A 75-year-old man has suffered about 200 common cold infections during his lifetime. Each person spends between two and three years of his life with a cold. The study found that a daily garlic supplement containing allicin, a purified component of garlic considered to be the major biologically active agent produced by the plant, reduced the risk of catching a cold by more than half.

Audio/Video Chemist Paul Freimuth "This knowledge could eventually contribute to the generation of a vaccine" real Friday, 19 November, 1999, 22:56 GMT Cold 'cure' comes one step closer Progress is slow towards a common cold cure US scientists believe they have found a way of blocking one of the principal viruses that causes cold symptoms in adults. Their research has successfully stopped viruses from binding with human cells in a test tube. If the virus cannot bind with a cell, it cannot enter the cell and reproduce, which should stop or at least slow its progress. However, the successful production of a cold "vaccine" is still a long way off - as conditions in a test tube differ greatly from those in the average human nose. The report comes from the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, and is published in the journal Science. Scientists managed to tailor the bacterium E.coli, which can cause food poisoning in some forms, but also helps to break down food in the gut, so that it mimicked the cell protein which joins with the virus. The theory is that a vaccine created from millions of these proteins would make viruses bind to these rather than the cells.
