Notes from Creekside - The common cold

Posted 1/15/25

The reason it is called "common" cold is, because as their name implies, they're widespread. Adults catch two to three colds a year, while young children come down with four or more colds per year. I have first hand experience with a common cold this week. Sneezing, coughing and a runny nose. Thankfully I did not have a headache, fever or sore throat that can also go along with this irritating virus. Usually I will get a cold twice a year, spring and fall. Lucky me, I am an overachiever this year.
