Here is an interesting note about colds. Infection usually gets to you through your eyes. The enzymes in saliva and other digestive juices apparently pretty much protect you from cold viruses but your eyes don't have such protection. Dr. Dean Edell (sp?), the guy on the radio and sometimes TV, says if you never touched your eyes you would almost never get colds. Of course, if someone coughs right in your face you could get it that way. Now you have even more to think about every time you touch a door or anything else in a public place. As if seeing 3 out of 4 people not wash after going to the restroom were not enough to think about.
Ewww!
