Many studies already had proved it.  Many more since then have confirmed it. I had been getting 2-3 bad colds every year.  They...

Teachers often refer to school children as "germ factories." Young noses and mouths are a perfect environment for bad germs to multiply. When bad germs are multiplying there, children are contagious.
