I know if you have a cold and cough or sneeze in your hand then touch something and someone else touches it they can catch your cold, but I have always wondered if you touch the thing can you recatch your own cold or would your body be immune against it since you already had it?

Just remember..."If it's wet and it's not yours. Don't touch it"

Once you get a cold/virus etc you are USUALLY immune to it (some of the infections etc out there that doesnt hold true to-but for the most part it is the rule of thumb)
HOWEVER there are so many strains of the same symptoms (ie-common cold-runny nose etc can come in many different strains)
That you could get sick again...but it wouldnt be the exact same thing...if that makes sense

you can recatch it, but you usually have to wait awhile untill your body is no longer imune to it.
