How often do you get colds etc?

[x hannah x]

I've got a stinky cold at the moment and it's about my third this year. I thought it was a bit weird, considering how freaky I am about hygeiene and avoiding germs etc, but somehow I end up getting colds all the time but never stomach bugs. *knocks on wood*

im often ill, but only sore throat or something like that.

[longgone]

Usually once or twice a year.

i get about two colds a year but that doesnt count the infections i get..

[crimgoddess]

I usually get around 4 a year- 2 that are really bad, and 2 that are just minor annoyances.


I think they mostly are due to me being run down due to work, school, or travelling. I usually don't get much sleep, but in a period where I have a lot to do, I may only get about 2 hours a night. I think that's what gets me.

I get anywhere from 0-2 colds a year, last year I didnt get any, but already I feel one that may be coming on. Urgh.

[one who squeaks]

I don't have much contact with other people and I'm always careful to
wash my hands after having been in a public place-- so when things are
good, I maybe get one cold a year. When my brother lived here (and
infected the entire household repeatedly, sometimes ON PURPOSE), it was
more like four. I can go from cold to pneumonia in .46 seconds, so I'm glad my brother is gone, heh. :|

I only get a cold about once every few years (if that)... Whenever anyone's sick with a cold or the flu it doesn't bother me because I never catch it!
