That argument can go on infinitum but since they are all only
theories and nobody can actually prove them,
Mindless stuff, plenty have been very comprehensively proven.
there are many other "germ" theories out there, including the one
Pasteur (inventor of our modern day "germ theory") went to his
death bed with, that there is no "germ" outside the human body and
they are all constantly within and brought forth by triggering
substances.
Mindlessly silly, most obviously with culture dishes.
I believe the culture dish and molds from nothing had something to
do with the change in his lifelong theories.

Bingo. Forget the other stuff.
Sorry, Doctor, there may be colds that are "caught",
but mine come from inflamed sinus irritated by dry air.
No, that's just what you *believe*.
You need to do some reading before spreading old-wives' tales.

Glad you have such faith in articles written
by just anybody who wants to write or modify them.

Although I predict that you won't believe the Mayo Clinic
either.
The
fact is that the cause of the common cold has been known for a
long
time. Unfortunately, a lot of people insist on spreading
nonsense
instead.
Well of course colds are caused by virsuses (virii??). But if
someone's
natural defenses are weakened, doesn't that make them more
susceptable to
infection? If your sinuses are cracked and bleeding, isn't it
more
likely
you will 'catch' one of those viruses floating around in a closed
space?
The nasal passages are our first line of defense against such
airborne
infection. If some folks sinuses are particularly sensitive to
drying, it
seems quite logical that airborne infections have a better chance
of
taking
hold in the body and causing illness.
From your article by the Mayo Clinic, on 'risk factors' :
"Some researchers theorize that cold constricts blood vessels in
the
nose,
slowing the white cells that fight infection and disrupting the
first-line
defense against germs. "
This supports the belief that your nose is the 'first-line
defense
against
germs'. So doing something to keep from degrading its ability
seems
only
natural.
Sure, but he's claiming that he can get a cold by (effectively)
weakened defenses alone, as in, without a virus being present to
defend against. That's pretty much the same as the old-wives tale
about wet hair causing colds.
