It may be so that they have I'm just not sure that I have ever been made aware of it. If not possibly a way to fend off one flu is to infect someone with another. I know wishful thinking but I am curious just the same. I'm not a medical person so be merciful in your comments.

The common cold is caused by numerous viruses (mainly rhinoviruses, coronaviruses, and also certain echoviruses, paramyxoviruses, and coxsackieviruses) infecting the upper respiratory system. Several hundred cold-causing viruses have been described, and a virus can mutate to survive, ensuring that any cure is still a long way off. The nasopharynx is the central area infected. The reasons that the virus concentrates in the nasopharynx rather than the throat may be the low temperature and high concentration of cells with receptors needed by the virus.
