Why is the common cold so common?
With more than 200 different viruses that can trigger a cold–and the fact that they spread easily–colds are the most common viral infection. Each year, people in the United States suffer 1 billion colds. People who are suffering from colds may spread the virus into the air or onto something they touch every time they sneeze or cough.
If you touch a surface that’s carrying a cold virus and then touch your mouth, nose, or eyes, you could become infected. The easiest and most effective ways to prevent a cold are to wash your hands and stay away from people with colds. Clean hands can stop germs such as the cold virus from spreading from one person to another.
How long is a cold contagious?
Colds are most contagious for the first 2 to 3 days of a cold.
