The idea that the common cold and influenza are spread via physical contact has been firmly implanted in our minds since childhood. However, the results of 200 human experiments fail to prove this theory as is illustrated with 1,000 citations in a recently published book by Daniel Roytas. The title is "Can You Catch a Cold?" The answer, in a word, is no.
Dr. Tom Cowan, MD, our vice president, interviews Daniel in his latest episode of "Conversations with Dr. Cowan and Friends" and describes it as easily one of the most important podcasts that he has done these past few years. This interview will clear up the answers to chickenpox parties and why it appears we 'catch' a cold from other people.
