Common Cold Myths

The common cold is an illness that nearly everyone has had at some point in their lives, but few people really understand it. Because the cold is so common, most people just assume they know all about it even though much of the information they have may be incorrect. So, how do you separate fact from fiction? You can probably find the answers if you do a little research. But because there is a lot of bad information out there, it may leave you feeling more confused than before you started.
