Viruses are smaller in size than bacteria.

Do you know the best way to protect yourself from catching a cold? Wash your hands often. One of the best lines of defense against colds is good old soap and water. Frequent hand washing keeps germs from spreading from person to person.

Blow then toss. It’s better to use paper tissues instead of handkerchiefs. Placing tissues directly into the wastebasket reduces the risk of passing the virus to another person.

Inanimate household objects can harbor cold germs for several hours before they die. This means that you should disinfect telephone receivers, doorknobs, children's toys, and refrigerator handles that have become the target of a sick child's (or adult's) coughs and sneezes.

Sleep is necessary for a strong immune system—it gives your body a chance to repair and form new cells.

Coming in contact with a cold virus is the only way you’ll catch a cold. Going outside without a hat in the winter will make you cold, but it won’t give you a cold.
