I am generally, a healthy person! My body resitance is good and I do not catch cold once in a while as my mother keeps the house clean! But, one of my friends who is the same age as me, catches cold once in a while and he always coughs once in a while! What about you?

Hi kar295rocks,So nice to hear that you are a healthy person.For me i can easily catch cold when 'm exposed to dust.That is why i used to take vitamin c to boost my immune system.Have a nice day!

As a child, I used to have dust allergy! My whole body gets covered with rashes when some kind of dust settles on it and the skin used to be very sensitive! It would turn red immeditely if I scratch! And also, I used to sneeze a lot! All these have reduced a lot!

I catch a severe cold once or twice a year, in the winter. I do keep a healthy diet and I do work out but sometimes when I'm really stressed, I just catch a cold. There are many viruses that cause the common cold, so you can unfortunately never become immune and you can catch them everywhere, like on a bus and all the crowded places. I usually have to lie down for a couple of days to get healthy again. Drinking vitamins doesn't help me. But I always take paracetamol because it makes living easier when you have a cold.

I never pay much attention to this question,and in fact,I rarely catch a cold,maybe about twice or three times a year,I regularly do exercise everyday and keep a good habit of diet all the time,which help me to stay in a good health condition.Of course,to avoid catching a cold,keeping the house clean and air the room by opening the windows everyday are also necessary.
