I considered whether to mention zinc, garlic, etc. but I couldn't really speak from experience about those, so I decided to cover lifestyle measures which I regularly practice. Maybe I will cover them in a future article. Thanks for the comments.

It might be an old wives tale, but I try to ingest (slowly) a zinc lozenge or two if I have been exposed to coughing/sniffling people after airplane rides, lots of public contact, etc. I seem to have fewer than usual colds these days. I think there's scientific research to support the idea of zinc helping to weaken viral growth... perhaps disproved though. However, it works for me. A wise old virologist once told me something like, "If you get a cold and take care of yourself and drink lots of fluids and up the vitamin C intake, your cold will be gone in fourteen days. If you get a cold and do nothing about it, it'll last two weeks." Look into the practice of using zinc as a means of fighting viruses.
