Detailed explanation-1: -The common cold is very easily spread to others. It’s often spread through airborne droplets that are coughed or sneezed into the air by the sick person.
Detailed explanation-2: -Viruses that cause colds can spread from infected people to others through the air and close personal contact. You can also get infected through contact with stool (poop) or respiratory secretions from an infected person.
Detailed explanation-3: -A cold virus enters your body through your mouth, eyes or nose. The virus can spread through droplets in the air when someone who is sick coughs, sneezes or talks. It also spreads by hand-to-hand contact with someone who has a cold or by sharing contaminated objects, such as eating utensils, towels, toys or telephones.
Detailed explanation-4: -Can you catch a cold from cold air? This is one of the most persistent myths about colds. The only way you get sick is when you come into contact with a virus. Cold air may irritate a condition you already have, like asthma, which could make your body more receptive to a cold virus.
