Host: How do you catch a cold?
Ronald Turner: Well, how you catch a cold depends a little bit on which virus you are talking about, that is causing it. So, a cold is caused by Rhinoviruses is almost always caught by direct contact with somebody who has Rhinovirus cold themselves and is transmitted by direct contact. On the other hand, colds caused by influenza for instance, which can occasionally cause a symptom complex, that is typical of a common cold, is airborne and that spreads through the air as Small Particle Aerosol. So, it varies a little bit by the type of virus, but for the most colds it is probably direct contact.
