(HealthDay News) -- It may seem impossible in the winter months not to catch a cold, but a few precautions may spare you the sniffles.
To reduce your chances of catching a cold, follow these suggestions from the American Lung Association:
- Avoid contact with people who already have a cold, and wash your hands after being around them.
- Keep your hands away from your face, especially your eyes, mouth, and nose.
- Keep clean hand towels in your bathroom, and keep a separate one available for people who aren't sick.
- Keep your home humid to prevent your sinuses from drying out.
