Arab Weather - Although we link our infection with colds and colds to the cold winter days, this is not true, at any time of the year a person can catch the virus that causes colds and colds even at the height of summer. As there are more than 200 types of viruses that cause colds and colds, which made this disease the most common in the world, and these viruses are endemic to the atmosphere at all times and places. But cold symptoms of headache and sore throat are most annoying during the summer.

Among the reasons that increase the incidence of colds and colds in the summer:

  1. Long trips in planes: Crowded passengers on the plane and the stay of passengers in it for long hours increases the possibility of viruses spreading through infection in the event that a person with a cold is inside the plane.
  2. Air-conditioners: Cold and cold viruses reproduce better and faster in cold noses, and the cold air emitted from air conditioners dries up the protective mucous layer inside the nose, so the body loses one of the most important lines of defense against viruses.
  3. Stress and anxiety: Any form of stress and anxiety that lowers our resistance and immune response and makes us vulnerable to viruses.

It is worth noting that this is the principle of the "vaping". The hot air entering the nose of a person with a cold works to warm the nose and moisten the mucous layer, which prevents the reproduction of more viruses and relieves symptoms.

To avoid cold and cold in the summer:

  • Colds and colds are common in crowded, closed areas. Try as much as possible to avoid crowds.
  • Cold viruses also spread on contaminated surfaces, such as doorknobs and telephones. These viruses can live for hours on contaminated surfaces and can be simply transferred by fingers to infection openings in the body, such as the eyes and nose. Keeping surfaces clean can help you avoid colds.
  • Washing hands well with soap and water is one of the most important steps to follow in the summer, not only before food, but also after touching surfaces and communicating with people.

These precautions are very simple but can also help prevent infection with the many enteroviruses that cause stomach upset and are often associated with summer and travel.
