For some reason, people usually associate the Winter and possibly late Fall with colds, and yet what is often overlooked is just how common a cold in the Spring or Summer can be.

Case in point, myself.

As of this writing I have been dealing with my cold for nearly a week now, despite taking tea and vitamins to help combat it.

How often do the rest of you get colds in the Spring?

The pollen, sinuses and allergies never fail to smack me upside the head at least once every spring/summer. I was so sick the year I was 14 and moving I went everywhere with a blanket to snuggle under, despite the 80+ degree heat in August, lol.

I think that colds are atually all due to germs aren't they? They don't have anything to do with the tempreature. Except in winter the germs become a lot more common and spread.

I haven't got a cold but I've had a cough for three weeks I don't smoke so that's not the reason.

I was getting a bit worried because I have rheumatoid arthritis and one of the side-effects of drugs I take is a cough and you have to tell your consultant about it. Saw my consultant last Friday but he didn't seem at all bothered.

I told my husband to mention it at my funeral and say "Well, she said she had a cough!"
