Does the influenza virus just float everywhere? Can you catch a cold by let’s say walking in the woods, slightly underdressed and not making contact with any sick person?
In: Biology
Because “Colds” are not real — this is actually a catch-all term for any illness that shares the set of symptoms you think of as a cold. For example, you may have a sinus infection (which looks like a cold) caused by a random allergen or even fungus (that you inhaled during your walk in the woods) getting stuck in your sinus cavity. A sinus infection can also have other causes that are more closely related to your interactions with other people, including bacterial/viral.
