In most cases I just know when I was infected. Examples: Changing a tire in the rain with my mouth open. I felt the invader almost immediately. Under a lab bench at work. For whatever reason, it's full of germs. Mouth closed and not breathing.

Elevators are a good place to catch colds. No breathing with your mouth open. Was hands when you can. Keep hands away from mucus membranes (nose, eyes) unless they are clean.

I did have an issue of getting sick around Holloween when I was younger. I finally figured out how to fix that. Multiple jackets. One for day and one for evening. Dress in layers.

Wet and cold weather do not cause a cold

Stay away from little kids or people who have little kids in their households. They are real germ factories and germ carriers. I invariably get ill from a co-worker who has little kids in the home that were ill and gave their germs to the adult and then the adult gave their germs to me. In most cases the germs have mutated so much by the time I get them I get raging ill much longer than the little germ factory who originally had the germ.

Just going shopping and walking past one of these little germ factories in a store can infect you. One time my son was in his stroller at a library a woman came into the hallway and deliberately sneezed all over my little guy and gave him one horrible case of the flu. He was not around anyone as I did not take him to grocery stores, etc. and did not attend school yet and I was not ill.
