Reducing the Risk of Catching a Cold
Limit contact with known cold sufferers, especially during the first three days of their illness.
Practice preventive measures which keep cold virus from entering the nose:
Wash hands after contact with cold sufferers and objects and surfaces they may have contaminated.
Keep fingers out of the eyes and nose.
Avoid having cold sufferers cough and sneeze on you or in your direction.
Handwashing
Hand washing removes cold viruses from the skin of the hand and fingers.
Cold virus is removed by the mechanical action of washing. Ordinary soaps and detergents do not inactivate cold virus but help in its removal from the hand.
Hand washing is especially important after contact with a cold sufferer or with objects or surfaces which may be contaminated.
Hand washing is particularly important after contact with young children with colds.
Germicidal hand lotions do not reliably kill rhinovirus, the most important cold virus.
Vitiamin C and plenty of rest and water

Do not wash your hands w/ antibacterial soap and take showers two, three times a week. Or wash your hands with regular soap. Antibacterial soap dries out your hands and can kill what is known as good bacteria. I've done this now for over a year and only got sick once unlike how i used to wash my hands every day and get sick everytime a change of season.

Try taking echonachia for a few months - it's a great natural product and is meant to prevent colds.

Good hygiene. Wash your hands after touching doors, shopping carts, people,and shopping at the mall, before touching your face or eating food. A good balance diet to keep your immune system in good shape.

Taking Vitamin C daily and eating citrus fruits as part of daily diet. Dringking fruit juices instead of soda.

Get a flu shot. It works for colds as well as the flu.

Washing your hands, or using the germ killing lotion that they sell in stores...constantly. Cold viruses are transmitted by your hands, then touching your face.
