For example, we know that there are over 100 different germs that cause the symptoms that are usually associated with a cold (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/health\/natural-healing\/thyme-medicine-use-85721.html\">itchy throat<\/a>, runny nose, fatigue, etc). We can 'catch' it when one is in close contact with a sick person and inhalants in the air contaminated with droplets produced by coughing or sneezing. But the microbe can also survive several hours outside the body (on a doorknob, desk, sink, and more). It then enters the body via the hands, when one rubs the nose or eyes. From there, it attacks and multiplies in our nose.
