It starts with a little sniffle, then your skin gets clammy and then your head starts to get stuffed up. Soon enough, you nose is running full bore and you're pulling tissues out of the tissue box like there's no tomorrow. When people look at you they express sympathy and horror. Some even turn and run away when you approach.
That's right, you've got a cold - the veritable crud - and you've got a thousand things to do at your office today and can't possibly let it get in your way.
With autumn in full swing and winter coming on, your bound to wind up with a cold sooner or later. Preparing for this inevitability should be at the top of your list. What to do...?
-After years of research in our Cold and Flu Laboratory at the FSRI, we've made a startling discovery: there's nothing, really, that you can do to avoid catching a cold (apart from completely isolating yourself from human contact). If you are unlucky and do catch a cold, be sure to stay warm, drink fluids and relax. Some say that taking vitamin C is a good way of staving off the symptoms. This probably hasn't been totally proven, though.
If you do catch a cold, eat some chicken soup and in a few days you should be better.
