They’re all around us from winter to spring: Coughing, sneezing, red-nosed co-workers who claim they’re coming down with something. That something could mean you’ll soon be following suit if you don’t take the proper precautions to avoid and prevent illness…In addition, many of us understand that we should avoid close, prolonged contact with anyone who has a cold, as recommended by the Mayo Clinic in its article on the common cold.
