Instructions
The  cold  and  flu  season  is  back  again,  so  it's  time  to    up  on  prevention  and  treatment.    to  popular  belief,  cooler  weather  doesn't  cause  colds.  What  is  more  likely  is  that  we  stay  indoors  more,  giving  viruses    to  spread  from  person  to  person.  In  addition,  the  cold  months  are  associated    low  humidity,  and  the  dry  air  makes  the  nasal  cavity  more  susceptible  to  bugs.  Consequently,  cases  of  colds  and  flu  surge  between  the  beginning  of  autumn  and  spring  (the    adult  gets  two  to  four  respiratory  infections  a  year;  children  even  more).  Because  the  season  is  upon  us,  it  is  a  good  idea  to  revise  a  few  cold  and  flu  tactics.
To  prevent  an  infection,  the  best  defence  is  a  good  offence.  The  first  step  is  to  limit  physical  contact  with  the  cold  sufferer.  When  someone  with  a  cold  sneezes,  coughs  or  sniffles,    your  distance.  Hugging,  kissing  and  shaking  hands  are  sure  ways  to  catch  a  cold.
